NYU Latinx Alumni Network & VECINOS present Breathe.Explore.Restore: Benefits of Latinx Affinity Networks to Advance Your Career livestreamed on the global, commons-based, peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Tuesday 13 June 2023 at 3 p.m. PDT (San Francisco, UTC -7) / 5 p.m. CDT (Chicago, UTC -5) / 6 p.m. EDT (New York, UTC -4).
NYU Latinx Alumni Network & VECINOS are hosting an interactive roundtable with Latine leaders from impactful communities, non-profits, employee resource groups, and affinity networks.
Latinx affinity networks are like a breath of fresh air, offering a space to explore your interests and restore your energy. They can also help you advance your career by providing access to resources, support, and opportunities.
This group of influential organizers will talk about the foundations of their collectives and the significance of making spaces where our most genuine selves can be seen, celebrated, and advanced, even and especially if they do not already exist.
Together, we will learn about current resources available to Latinx communities in various industries, including business, entertainment, law, and sports, to celebrate their collective impact and explore deeper avenues of value-aligned networking.
At the end of the session, you will have access to broader networks and communities, so you can:
- Network with other professionals in your field
- Gain access to mentors and sponsors
- Learn about career opportunities
- Develop your professional skills
- Advocate for yourself and your community
- Feel a sense of belonging and community
