Outreach, Diversity & Inclusion Talks

Sponsored by IEEE Women in Photonics & the IEEE Photonics Society Diversity Oversight Committee

The IEEE Photonics Society Membership Council established a ‘Change Champion’ program to showcase volunteers and leaders facilitating positive change and empowering others in the photonics and optics community. Such volunteers advocate for diversity and inclusion; lead altruism projects; organize strategy sessions to implement new ideas; have proven professional development practices to share; etc.

Below are examples of Change Champion talks on Outreach, Diversity & Inclusion to assist conference attendees on creating new avenues for engagement in the community.
