Description of CE Program/Activity
 Job applicants, dont let your Facebook profile make you face unemployment. Employers, dont get Insta-slammed with a civil rights violation. Tune in to this Pinteresting presentation on September 16th to learn more about scenarios like these: John, a high school student, posts a photo of himself on Instagram with his service dog. He applies for a summer job, but when the employer sees the Instagram photo, she decides not to hire John because of his disability. Beth is interviewing for college admission. As part of the interview, the college recruiter asks her to log-in to Facebook so that he can see her page. Beth refuses to log-in and later finds out that she was not accepted to the college. Sarahs boss learns through Facebook that Sarahs mom has cancer. He lets his other employees know about the cancer and passes around a Get Well Soon card for Sarahs mom. Some of the people in the scenarios above have broken the law -- but who has and who hasnt may surprise you! Through this presentation, you will learn how the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act apply at work and school and how to protect yourself from discrimination. #don\\\'t miss it! Audience: Anyone
