Hi SMDP Scholars,


This is a reminder that you are invited to join a virtual SMDP session on Belonging in Industry hosted by AstraZeneca on Thursday, April 30 from 12:00–1:00 pm ET/9:00–10:00 am PT.  Please hold this on your calendar and come to this Zoom link at that time.There is no need to RSVP, but come ready to engage in a timely discussion.

What to expect:


• Framing the conversation: Why belonging matters in industry and how it influences career growth, performance, and wellbeing.
• Real-world perspectives: Insights from AstraZeneca colleagues on creating inclusive teams and thriving in diverse environments.
• Interactive breakout discussions: Small groups focused on scenarios and practical tips you can apply immediately.
• Q&A: Time reserved for your questions and reflections. Preparation (optional but encouraged):
• Consider a recent moment when you felt a strong sense of inclusion—or exclusion—and what influenced that experience.
• Bring one question related to building/belonging in your current or future team.

We look forward to an engaging, supportive discussion, and see invite below. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out at carl.lowe2@astrazeneca.com.
With appreciation,
AZ SMDP Team
