workplace. https://www.hrc.org/resources/corporate-equality-index-2019-criteria-updates
O4U Executive Director, Cindi
Love, said:
"We are very excited and honored to again welcome Goldman Sachs as
the host sponsor of our Business Conference. We connect deeply with
their values about fostering inclusion as a priority by 'sustaining
a work environment where people feel comfortable bringing their
full selves to work and are empowered to reach their full
potential. Students tell us that these weekend immersions change
their lives, inspiring them to live authentically, bring their full
and best selves to the workplace and pursue challenging, ambitious
and purposeful careers.'"
Founded in 2004, O4U offers four leadership conferences in
Business Tech, Marketing and Engineering hosted by more than 130 of
America's leading corporations and universities. These sponsors,
alongside O4U volunteers, co-create dynamic weekend-long learning
communities for LGBTQ+ professionals, mentors and
students. http://outforundergrad.org
Dane E. Holmes, Global Head of
Human Capital Management of Goldman Sachs says:
"At Goldman Sachs, we know two things to be true when it comes to
talent: first, the health and success of our business depends on
the quality of our people, and second, talent is not bound by
factors such as race, gender, age or sexual orientation. For that
reason, we are thrilled to continue our partnership with Out for
Undergrad, an organization committed to the important work of
connecting LGBTQ+ students with career opportunities and promoting
diversity and inclusion in the workplace."
The cost of O4U attendance for students is fully underwritten by
sponsors who also send their leaders to mentor and train the best
and brightest LGBTQ+ students in the nation about job opportunities
in their highly competitive industries.
