Please join us for a HUGs + STEM Lunchtime Conversation with Lisa Gelobter, Founder and CEO of tEQuitable, an independent, confidential platform to address issues of bias, discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Ms. Gelobter was a Brown graduate and Computer Science concentrator.

On Monday, April 9 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm, Ms. Gelobter will be at CSREA for an informal lunchtime conversation about women and people of color in STEM industries. What are the opportunities? What are the visible and invisible barriers and hurdles? What are some good strategies for leveling the playing field in the ever-expanding and influential STEM industries?

We will serve lunch and spaces are limited, so please RSVP to Caitlin Scott at [email protected].

Later that evening, Ms. Gelobter will give a lecture as part of the Brown University Presidential Colloquium Series, Thinking Out Loud: Deciphering Mysteries of Our World and Beyond. For more information, visit https://www.brown.edu/campus-life/events/thinking-out-loud/home.
