Envisioning LGBTQIA+ Wellbeing: An Interdisciplinary Conference
Nov. 16 | 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM | Loma Pelona Center, UC Santa Barbara
The Queer and Trans Graduate Student Union (
QTGSU) at UC Santa Barbara is hosting a conference called
Envisioning LGBTQIA+ Wellbeing
to bring together students and community practitioners to explore the future of the LGBTQIA+ community.
UC San Diego students are welcome to either attend or register as a potential panelist for the sessions. We hope that gathering students from multiple campuses might help encourage queer inter-campus cross-collaboration and idea-sharing.
The
QTGSU is working to secure funding to at least partially alleviate the cost of student travel to UCSB campus via coordinating carpools or arranging host homes.
For more information about being a panelist or an attendee, contact
