'23 Survival Series: Diversity of Experiences Panel

Join us on Friday, June 16 from 7-8:30 PM, CST, for the second event of JETAA Chicago's '23 Survival Series, Diversity of Experience Panel, for outgoing '23 JETs ! This event will be focused on giving outgoing JETs the chance to discuss how to navigate areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) while in Japan, as well as how said areas will impact one's experience, such as being a minority, double-minority, and even novel minority. The panel will be led by JET Alumni who have navigated areas of DEI and are also open to answering questions.

Sign up here!

This event is open to JET alumni and outgoing JETs.

Questions? Contact our Outreach Coordinator, Constance.
