Hi There,

 

The LGBT Education and Support Services is hosting our annual GSA Visit Day, a day that high school students attend workshops on campus about LGBTQIA identity! This draws in around 100-150 high school students!

 

You were recommended to be on this panel! We are looking for 4-5 volunteers who are able to sit on our “Adulting as LGBTQIA” Panel.This panel will be facilitated by a staff member and asks participants to share their experiences growing up as a young adult, finding mentorship, navigating a college campus as LGBTQIA+ creating family/chosen family, navigating career paths, and being in community as LGBTQIA. We are looking for those who identify as LGBTQIA and to have a variety of experiences, ages, and identities on the panel itself. If you are interested in this opportunity please see the details below:
