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!

Registration is Open: 6th Annual SUNY Pride Conference
Pride Without Borders: Sharing Our Stories Beyond the Rainbow
|
|
The SUNY Pride Conference Committee cordially invites students, community members, resource professionals, junior and senior faculty, and administrators to submit proposals for our upcoming conference theme,
Pride Without Borders: Sharing Our Stories Beyond the Rainbow...
Today’s students entering college come with new attitudes and understandings around gender and sexuality. Despite the progress made in different areas of policy, education, and pop culture, there’s still a lot of work to be done in order to give the best support and education to students in a nation full of uncertainty. To this effect, this year’s theme serves to provide an avenue for different voices to be heard and allow for greater representation of individuals who are so often silenced.
The 6th Annual SUNY Pride Conference will take place:
October 12th & 13th
SUNY Oneonta
Oneonta, NY
