Out for Undergraduate Business Annual Conference Announced
The Steering Committee of the Out for Undergraduate Business Conference
(OUBC) is pleased to announce Registration for the 5th annual OUBC for September 26-27, 2008 in New York City.
The conference is a great opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students to learn about being “Out” in their career and in their career search process. Last year’s conference was a great success, with approximately 120 students
participating from 40 schools across the country.
About the conference:
The fifth annual Out for Undergraduate Business Conference in New York City will help LGBT undergraduate students learn how other "out" professionals have dealt with these same issues. Panelists and speakers will share insider knowledge about if, when, and how to come out in different professional situations, as well as strategies they've used to investigate companies' LGBT policies before joining a new organization.
The program will also help participants:
• Build fundamental business knowledge crucial to the interview process
• Polish resume and interview skills
• Network with "out" professionals and students from other schools
To register:
Please register at www.OutforBusiness.com. Register now to be eligible for a discounted registration rate.
If you have any questions please refer to our website, www.OutforBusiness.com, which is now updated with information on the 2008 conference.

About the QTRC
The Queer-Trans Resource Center is designed to provide support to Bowdoin's gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and straight populations. It is dedicated to educating the campus community about sexuality and gender identity and offers an array of educational brochures.
A team of student peer listeners staff the center throughout the week to provide support and advice to anyone who wishes to learn more about sexual orientation and gender-related issues.
The QTRC also works actively with the college administration (including the Deans' Office, the Office of Residential Life, the Admissions Office, the Career Planning Center, the President's Office and the Board of Trustees) to make Bowdoin a more queer-friendly environment.
Coordinating with many other campus groups (such as Bowdoin Queer-Straight Alliance, the African-American Society, and Bowdoin Women's Association), it sponsors speakers, concerts, and other events on campus, in addition to hosting discussion groups addressing the diverse needs of the Bowdoin community.
The library of queer-related books, movies, and CDs is available to all students, faculty and staff, and the comfortable facility that is shared with the Women's Resource Center offers a quiet, relaxing and positive atmosphere for all.
