The I-O Psych faculty and staff team was grateful for the opportunity to support the conference and to have those students/alums experience amazing presentations, networking, and more.

Keys appreciated the opportunity to attend the conference.

鈥淕oing to BIOP was a very fulfilling experience because not only did I feel like I was able to have open and honest conversations with peers, but I also learned so much about the different ways DEI can be incorporated into the field of I-O psychology from practitioners and academics,鈥 Keys said. 鈥淚 enjoyed and took something away from every single session I attended, and I wish I could have gone to all of them if I could!鈥

鈥淥verall, I would recommend going to BIOP for anyone interested in connecting with professionals who want to truly make a difference,鈥 she said.

“I had the chance to listen to experts on various topics such as leadership development, selection practices, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. More importantly, I was able to make connections with current I-O students, professors, and practitioners through networking events. I made genuine meaningful connections with my fellow attendees,鈥 Malur said.聽

She also recommends the conference to others.

鈥淭he resources, information, and content I was able to absorb have left a lasting impression on me,鈥 Malur said. 鈥淚 highly recommend this organization, any future conferences and events to all who have an interest in I-O psychology, regardless of what stage you are on your journey. I’m proud to be an ally of Black professionals in I-O.鈥
