Trans 101

Examine how identity, power, and privilege shape experiences in classrooms and institutions. Participants will reflect on their own positionality and explore ways to foster equity and inclusion in higher education.

Participants who complete a total of six workshops, three required and three optional, will earn a Certificate in Inclusive Education and Professional Development.

Each year on March 31, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the disproportionate levels of poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces compared to cisgender (non-transgender) people.

Join the Office of LBGT Student Services to learn the basics of what it means to be transgender including primers on social, legal, and medical processes. Participants will learn about: the differences between sexual orientation and gender identity, on and off campus resources, and common social, legal, or medical processes that transgender/gender nonconforming people may navigate.
