Week 4, Winter Quarter 2015
UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center
|
"As long as there is power and hierarchy, then abusers know where they can hide. Because abusers know how to exploit power and hierarchy, because they know how to learn the language, they know how to say the right things, they more than others know how to perfect a tone of rationality and paint their victims as betrayers."

You Had Me at HELLO
Thurs. Jan. 29th | 3-4:30p | BRC
No matter the career you choose to enter, there are basic tools that can help you get the job, internship etc. you are pursing.
It takes just a quick glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to evaluate you when you meet for the first time. In this electronic age, many first impressions are made without you being physically present. Instagram, FaceBook, SnapChat, LinkedIn, Twitter, all of these forums provide access to your personal life and invite others to form opinions about who you are and what you are about. In this workshop, you will explore the implications, benefits and impact of first impressions.
