Intersectionality
Gain Experience
Building experience through internships, research, or volunteering provides valuable skills while affirming your unique identity in the workplace.
- Apply for identity-based internships: Explore programs like INROADS (for underrepresented students in business and STEM) or SEO Career (for diverse students in finance and business).
- Engage in research: Consider opportunities like the McNair Scholars Program, designed to support underrepresented students in academic and professional development.
- Volunteer with purpose: Join identity-affirming or mission-driven organizations to gain hands-on experience while contributing to causes that align with your values.
- Join campus organizations: Build leadership skills by participating in identity-based student groups at UCSB, such as the MultiCultural Center or the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
