Story Mosaic: Early Work Experiences
Wednesday, April 16th, 12 – 1:30 pm

Submit your workplace story by April 7
Theme: Remember your first jobs? The awkward moments, the triumphs, the lessons you’re now passing along (or unlearning)? Join us during National Student Employment Week to share stories of those early professional adventures and the people and moments that shaped who you are at work and in the world today.
What is the Story Mosaic Series? Through centering community we aim to create a space for students, staff, and faculty to share their stories, listen, and build community by connecting with others. We will have storytellers sharing their personal stories, followed by time for reflection and questions. Lunch or meal tickets will be provided. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with your DU community and be inspired by the power of storytelling!
Storyteller Logistics: If you are selected to be a storyteller, you will share a 5 – 8 minute story to a small group of about 30 people. The story can be anything connected to the theme. It could be about a meaningful experience at or outside of DU, a time of reflection, or anything you would like! We will reach out with further logistical details and a check-in closer to the event.
