- LGBTIQQ Symposium - The Annual
LGBTQ Sympoium brings together the academic and social topics together. In
spring 2012, we hosted our 17th annual LGBTIQQ Symposium. With 3-4 programs
taking place every day, we were able to offer discussion and interaction for
over 350 participants.
To highlight our week, we unveiled our newly re-designed Safe Zone program, invited Trans Activist Ryan Sallans as our Keynote Speaker, and enjoyed entertainment from award winning Drag Performers Deja D. Dellatarro and Autumn De La Rue at our Queer Prom.
In spring 2013, we will continue this program in March. Many opportunities exist for student, faculty, staff, and community involvement. To volunteer, call 401-874-2894.
