Leading with Diversity: Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15, 11 AM – 12 PM

The American Physiological Society (APS) invites you to join us for the continuation of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Webinar Series.

In this webinar, APS celebrates our Hispanic and Latino/a members for their accomplishments in the physiology field and those that expand science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) opportunities for younger generations. Panelists will discuss the leadership skills needed to succeed in and to support the future STEAM workforce, and APS resources available to those in underrepresented populations.

This webinar will discuss:

  • the history of the terms related to Hispanic Heritage Month;
  • the challenges encountered in the workplace (e.g., socio-economic, linguistic, cultural) and strategies for success;
  • the resources available to these unrepresented populations, including scholarship, grants, mentorships and sponsorships; and
  • the development of leadership skills from professional opportunities.

We encourage you to participate in our series and help us foster open-mindedness—a staple of discovery, creativity and a better future—for all.
