TÚ, con acento

A one-day interactive event aimed at reframing linguistic diversity—accents, bilingualism, and multilingualism—as assets in the workplace rather than barriers. This program will create an affirming space for students from diverse linguistic backgrounds to gain confidence, develop communication tools for professional settings, and explore how their cultural and language experiences enhance their career readiness.

Beyond the Center
April 16, 2026

A panel of 3-5 former student leaders from the TLC (a combination from our tutors, SI leaders, academic coaches, graduate assistants, or student administrative assistants from within the last 3-5 years) will share how they use the skills they gained in their current careers/positions, and anything that they wish they had learned or taken advantage of while they were still a student. Our goals include beginning a program to engage alumni and to help our current students make connections, hearing about how they will be able to apply their skills in their careers.

I will be hosting a panel for them to talk about their experiences/current state of their specific organizations to help current students and faculty get better insight into the current workplace landscape.
