LGBTQA Meet & Greet

Posted on October 11, 2010 by kyle

This Thursday (14 October) is our LGBTQA Faculty, Staff and Students Meet & Greet. It will be taking place from 4-6PM in the PB Poorman PRIDE Resource Center.

We would LOVE to have a large turnout from the faculty and staff on campus to connect with our LGBTQA student community and possibly create some mentoring opportunities.

PLEASE share this information with people on campus that you know to be LGBTQA-friendly and ask them to join us even for 5 to 10 minutes between 4-6PM. With your help, this will create some phenomenal dialogue!

For questions or requests for accommodations, please contact Chris Hollar at 262.472.1167 or chollar@uww.edu.
