LGBTQ* Services Collaboration with the SBU Food Pantry
|
|
We're starting a collaboration with the Stony Brook Food Pantry to make the LGBTQ* Center a new point on campus where students, faculty, and staff can come pick up a care package of food at no cost! We want to encourage you to take the whole bag, and if there is anything you do not want please pay it forward and give what you don't need to someone who does.
Each bag contains food from the major food groups. If you want to come pick up a bag, come to the Center and speak with one of our staff members who can show you to where we keep the pantry.
You can come grab a bag anytime the LGBTQ* Center is open during the fall!

Let's Talk @ the LGBTQ* Center
|
|
LGBTQ* Services is partnering with Counseling and Psychological Services to make the LGBTQ* Center a Let's Talk location!
Let's Talk is a chance for students to drop by for brief conversations with a counselor in their communities. Students can stop by and say hello, pick up some giveaways, or stick around to discuss anything bothering them.
The counselors are caring, unbiased and trustworthy professionals, who can suggest resources for further support, if necessary.
If you would like to chat with someone about anything, you can find a counselor at the LGBTQ* Center.
Tuesdays, starting 9/4, during the Fall semester
3:30PM - 5:30PM

"Opening its doors to the public once more, the Translating Identity Conference (TIC) explores a wide array of topics in discourses regarding gender and transgender identities, expressions, communities, and intersections. The largest conference of its kind in New England, TIC is a free conference that seeks to reach not only the University of Vermont & Burlington community, but the nation as a whole.
A one-day event, TIC has numerous sessions to choose from at any time, ranging from healthcare to law to education, that are directed towards people at all levels of inclusion in the trans and allied communities. This conference is designed to be a safe space for everyone to come, learn, and enjoy themselves!"
