Should I use my picture and real name in my LinkedIn profile?
Do you think people will treat me differently if I share who I really am online?
How do I not only present my authentic self but also appear as a professional online?
What experiences or parts of my identity should I include (or not include) on my website?
Do I have to have an online presence? I am concerned about discrimination and bias.
In an ever-changing landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the online environment, supporting students in communicating their stories for career, research, learning, and life purposes is increasingly important and complex.
Figuring out what to include and what to highlight is already challenging, and even more so when we are helping students -- whose identities are still evolving and emerging -- design and build the digital presence they want others to see now and in the future.
If you are a faculty member, career educator, ePortfolio practitioner, student advisor, or higher education professional who interacts with students around these questions and issues, this workshop is for you.
Join this 1.5-hour interactive workshop where you will:
1. Explore common questions related to DEIB that students ask during career coaching and advising conversations
2. Discuss crowdsourced strategies to support students as they build an authentic online identity through ePortfolios, LinkedIn, professional websites, etc.
3. Engage in guided design thinking activities aimed at adapting these strategies to meet the needs of your students in your institutional context and environment
4. Walk away with an action plan for next steps, an annotated resource list, and an invitation to schedule an optional 30-minute personal consultation with one of the instructors post-workshop

Mission: The Stanford Integrative Learning Portfolio Lab (ILPL) believes that all students have a story to tell – one that integrates their whole selves; our lab empowers students to communicate their identity and most meaningful experiences on and offline, in their own words.
About: Based on research, ILPL members teach courses and facilitate hands-on workshops that help students (undergrad/grad) discover the stories they can tell when they integrate their academic, co-curricular, professional, and personal experiences. By building an online presence, students can easily share their whole selves with future employers, professional schools, and the communities they aim to reach.
