GLOSSARY

Inspiration

Even in countries where it’s illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, they continue to face significant challenges in the workplace. Being open about their orientation, especially as they move into leadership roles; feeling confident they can advance their careers; and finding workplace cultures that are truly inclusive are still not the default scenarios. We are creating an environment where authenticity flourishes starts with all leaders being themselves, encouraging others to be authentic, and creating a safe and open work culture.

What it does

Glossary is a safe, comfortable and inviting space for the LGBTQA+ community at the University of Calgary. We are your go to place for everything related to LGBTQ+ at the University of Calgary. We also give you access to our ChatterBox which allows you to interact and connect with your peers.

How we built it

We used wix for the main webpage. Moreover, we also included a chatterbox which is an interactive place using html, css and javascript.

Challenges we ran into

As we both were complete beginners and this was our first time doing this, we ran into a bit coding challenges while building the chatterbox. However we managed to complete it on time
