How does the lens of "cultural wealth" impact how we deliver Career Services to students?

Vivian Dillon	Guest Faculty Coordinator for Work Experience gave a presentation about cultural wealth and its impact on internships sponsored by the Teaching & Learning Institute: "Applying an Equity Lens to the ARC Work Experience & Internship Program." Conversations among employers about diversity and inclusion increased after the George Floyd incident and several large employers such as Target, Google, Adidas and Estee Lauder have pledged to increase its diversity in workforce. Equity advocacy for Work Experience discussed concepts in types of equity capital: linguistic, aspirational, familial, social, navigational, and resistance. In advocating for equity by employers for Work Experience students, questions about flexible scheduling, "virtual" internships, flexible work attire and discounts on clothes and equipment, plus paid versus unpaid internships, transportation expenses and a mentor program are all on the table.
