Voices of Pride

On April 1, 2022, the Center for Ethics, Diversity and Workplace Culture (CEDWC) hosted our first biennial Equality at Work conference on April 1, 2022. Equality at Work 2022: Voices of Pride was a day-long conference focused on LGBTQIA+ issues in the workplace.

The conference was originally conceived by three Fox undergraduate students who expressed a need for both education and community building around LGBTQIA+ issues in the business world. The day included keynote speaker Beth Brooke, former global vice chair at EY (Ernst and Young); three panels highlighting academic experts, business executives and Temple alumni with lived experiences; a concluding talk by Celena Morrison, executive director of the Office of LGBT Affairs of the City of Philadelphia and an opportunity for students to connect with local LGBTQIA+ friendly employers.
