Members of the campus community are invited to attend the “Transgender Equity in the Workplace” guest panel and workshop on Thursday, April 2, from 10 a.m. to noon in Phoenix Room B of the University Union. Mara Keisling, executive director at the National Center for Transgender Equality in Washington D.C., will be one of the members on the guest panel which will address and answer questions on the topic of transgender employee equity in the workplace. Other guest panel members include an engineer who assisted her workplace in adopting policy and protocols to facilitate with a smooth transition as she transitioned to a full-time female, and a UW-Green Bay student who will provide the perspective of how students seek employment in a state she says does not provide workplace equity for individuals who are transgender. The guest panel will be followed by a 30-minute workshop.
