You likely remember us raving about Out for Undergrad’s (O4U) conferences, well now you get the chance to verify the hype and apply! O4U is accepting applications for their Engineering and Digital conferences, which are all-expenses-paid opportunities (ie. food, flight, hotel stay, etc.)! Their conferences are open to all LGBTQ2+ students (including those who are not out or selectively out and will accommodate them appropriately). The conference is open to international & DACA students and also accommodates students with disabilities.
Their Engineering conference is scheduled for October 20-23, 2023 in St. Paul, MN, and will feature keynote speakers, mentorship workshops (with peers & industry professionals), social networking times, and a career fair with leading engineering firms. You can read more and see last year’s sponsors here or start your application here.
O4U’s Digital conference will be a merging of their previous Marketing and Tech conferences, connecting you with top corporate recruiters from those industries in NYC and featuring similar functions as the previously discussed Engineering conference. The Digital conference is scheduled for the weekend of September 29-October 1, 2023. See past sponsors here or start your application here.
FYI: O4U applications are on a rolling basis split into 3 rounds, so you only need to apply for one round, it’s not a long process at all. They also mention a $90 fee if you are accepted, however, if you have financial need they will waive it. If they for some reason do not, know we will advocate on your behalf to the University and get you the funding you need, please do not let the fee deter you from this amazing opportunity!!
Ellie and I (Kevin) attended the O4UE conference last year and we have missed the incredibly queer space ever since. We will briefly go over the conference during next week’s GMM (2/17), if you have questions or would like app guidance, we would be more than happy to help!!
