Title: LGBTQ 101: A Primer for Supporting Students
Lead Presenter: Wendy Schindler
Date: October 02, 2018    Time: 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Room: N 126 C
Abstract: As advisors, educating ourselves on diversity and inclusion makes us better equipped to support LGBTQ students. However, understanding the differences between sex, gender, sexual orientation, and expression can seem like a daunting task for a beginner. Even those of us who have an understanding of certain terms and concepts may be lacking knowledge in other areas; maybe you have an idea of what it means to be gay or lesbian, but not what it means to be transgender. Having at least a baseline level of knowledge is crucial to creating a safe and inclusive environment for our students while fostering retention. This presentation will explore basic terminology and concepts regarding LGBTQ students, as well as practical applications for student support, while offering tips for self-reflection.
