Various times for students only, faculty only, and staff only, 2nd Floor Murray-Aikins

As colleges become safer places for transgender students to self-disclose and advocate for their needs, many faculty and staff want to be supportive, but are often left with questions of how best to do that. This interactive session provides faculty and staff with a deeper understanding gender identity & expression, as well as promising practices for communicating with and about trans students. Register here!
