The first systemwide Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex gathering takes place March 23–24 at the Manoa Campus Center Ballroom. The gathering seeks to build community and will engage participants in critical conversations to increase our appreciation of our own identities, our shared sense of community, and the opportunity for collective action.
The LGBTI Commission believes that having this visible community-building gathering will help students, faculty, and staff of diverse communities develop a sense of identity within and build connections throughout the UH system. They encourage participants to take action and to engage in their own campuses as they serve as peers, colleagues, mentors, role models, and/or allies for LGBTI equality.
The gathering includes seminars, round-table discussions, readings and more. Scholarships are available for Neighbor Island Students to subsidize airfare. For more information call (808) 956-9250 or email.
