Below is an announcement from Lasell University:

NEWTON, MA — Beverly Banks, a Lasell University student from Wilmington, participated in the institution’s annual Connected Learning Symposium in April. Each presentation demonstrates a particular set of core career competencies listed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) as being in high demand in the workforce.

Banks presented “What I Know Now: Discoveries from Social Science Majors’ Capstones,” about their psychology and sociology projects and the process of collaboration, grant writing, and preparing for life after Lasell. The presentation incorporated the NACE competencies of equity and inclusion, career and self development, professionalism, intercultural knowledge and effectiveness, moral and ethical reasoning, and civic and community engagement

Banks also led an interactive presentation, “Honoring Affirmed Names and Pronouns at Lasell,” about exploring personal identities and understanding the importance of using preferred names and pronouns to create a welcoming and affirming environment.
