Your First Role in UX

User Experience Monthly Meetup

Monday, August 31, 2020
8:00 PM – 9:30 PM Eastern Time

So, you want to work in UX? What kind of UX job are you looking for (agency, freelance, software, enterprise, etc.)? In this meetup, you’ll swap stories and learn from others who’ve successfully made the transition to a career in UX. Which skills are transferrable? How do you acknowledge your past experiences while demonstrating new skills? What’s the biggest challenge to breaking into your first role? Come prepared to share your own background, goals, and interests and learn from others who’ve already made the transition.

Agenda:

  • Introductions
  • Panelists share their past and current experiences
  • Audience specific questions and discussion

BIPOC Design Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

A great event being hosted by MIT Libraries!

Join MIT Libraries and students from MIT DUSP and MIT Architecture for the “BIPOC Design Wikipedia Edit-a-thon” August 17 – 21. During this weeklong series of events, participants will create new pages and edit existing ones for Black, Indigenous, People of Color designers in the built environment. No experience editing wikipedia is necessary to attend and participate!
.
This event is part of the “BIPOC Design Archive Project,” a digital archive of Black, Indigenous, People of Color designers in the built environment. This summer, students across the MIT School of Architecture and Planning and MIT Libraries have joined forces to create this resource, initially focused on the U.S., that highlights those who have made—and continue to make—contributions to design in education and in practice.
