Ithaca College

Cornell Woodson ’09 will be our featured speaker in commemoration of National Coming Out Day on Thursday October 8 at 7 pm in Clark Lounge, Campus Center.

We all start out with a dream of what we want to spend our life doing. However, sometimes life presents our true purpose– we can choose to deny it or accept it fully. This is Cornell’s story toward embracing a career in social justice and practicing self-care.

Delicious fall-themed refreshments will be served.

Cornell F. Woodson has spent his career in education working with underrepresented groups and developing social justice initiatives to engage communities in tough conversations about the social issues that impact our society. Cornell believes that authentic dialogue, reflection on our identities, and an understanding of our history are key to creating more inclusive environments. He is currently the Associate Director for Diversity and Inclusion in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University.

Sponsored by the  Center for LGBT Education, Outreach & Services.
