Do you know about the Gender Wage Gap – the fact that women make only 77% of men’s earnings? Did you know that one year after graduation; women make $10,000 less than men with the same degrees and the same jobs? Do you know what to do about it?!
Equal Pay Day is marked at colleges and businesses around the world. This year, for the first time, Towson is getting involved. Please join us at one of these events:
Tech In
10 a.m. – 3 p.m., University Union 2nd Floor
Instead of an old fashioned sit-in, we will be taking our protests online. Use our technology to learn more about the wage gap and post and tweet about it at #EqualPayDay. Laptops will be provided.
Salary Negotiation Workshop
Noon, Loch Raven Room
Get a free lunch and learn how to negotiate for the salary you deserve!
Unhappy Hour
5 p.m., U Club @ the Marriott
The Women’s Faculty/Staff Associate is “unhappy” about the wage gap. Come and network and learn more. Snacks are provided, must display ID to drink.
