Ben Greene will share his story as an openly transgender man who came out at 15. After reviewing what it means to be transgender and all of the language that comes up in these conversations, he’ll discuss issues facing the transgender community in the workforce and the world at large, why it matters to be proactive about your support and what individuals, schools and organizations can do to create a safe, supportive environment for all people. Session will close with a 100% judgment-free Q&A where attendees can ask any burning questions, talk through new strategies and address any lingering misconceptions they may have had about the transgender community.

Webster University is a private, non-profit institution with a century of time-tested results. Today, we serve students both in the U.S. and worldwide. Est. 1915. ► https://www.webster.edu/ #WebsterUniversity
In 1915, the Sisters of Loretto had a bold vision — to establish a university that would admit and educate only women. Opening with five students, the institution’s first graduating class totaled just two women. Today our main campus looks quite different than it did more than a century ago — and even different from when it was renamed Webster University in 1983. Now, the University engages individuals living and working around the world, honoring the Sisters of Loretto’s legacy in the pursuit of academic excellence, equality and global citizenship.
