In-person and virtual
The Midwest Institute for Sexuality and Gender Diversity and the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy are proud to support a student-led initiative concluding this year’s Out Week, hosted by Out For Business and Out in Public: a fireside chat with Chasten Buttigieg.
Chasten Buttigieg is an author, teacher, education enthusiast, LGBTQ+ rights advocate, and husband of Secretary of Transportation and previous presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.
After leaving the 2020 campaign trail, Chasten Buttigieg published his first book, I Have Something to Tell You. In this moving, uplifting memoir, he recounts his journey to finding acceptance as a young gay man in rural Northern Michigan.
In conversation with Emma Jabour (MPP/MBA '24), this discussion will focus on the intersections of identity and allyship, particularly in social and professional contexts. Welcome remarks will be delivered by Ford School dean Celeste Watkins-Hayes, OFB club presidents Camren Kaminsky and Joseph Kind, and MBA Council's DEI chair Sean-Michael Steele.
The virtual stream is free and open to the public.
The in-person event in Ann Arbor is free and open to the U-M community. Mcards will be required for entry.
