This series of four workshops is designed for BING faculty and staff who want to learn the basics of sexual and gender diversity as well as explore issues that may impact LGBTQ student success. While concepts will build across the workshops, each has been designed to also stand on its own. You are encouraged to register for as many as you can. Space is limited. Register HERE.
Brought to you by the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the LGBTQ Center, and the U-Diversity Educational Institute.
LGBTQ 101: An Introduction
Human sexual identity is much more complicated than our high school health class would
have us believe. In this workshop, participants explore the 5 aspects of sexual identity
and learn common terminology.

LGBTQ 101: Exploring Privilege
LGBTQ students often have limited access to a variety of privileges other take for
granted. Not just legal privileges, but social, financial, educational and so on.
In this interactive workshop, participants will investigate cis gender and heterosexual
privilege and reflect on the experience of both having and not having privilege.

LGBTQ 101: Coming Out
Coming out is not a one-time event but a series of events throughout one's lifetime.
It is also not a static event, but can be relative to the people or circumstances
one finds oneself in. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore a range
of consequences experienced by students during the coming out process. Participants
will also discuss ways to be supportive of someone who comes out to them.

Trans: What you've always wanted to know but were afraid to ask.
Celebrities like Chaz Bono, Lavern Cox, and Caitlyn Jenner have made transgender a
household word. Yet, most people know very little about what it actually means to
be trans. In fact, the identities that fall under the trans umbrella can be as different
as night and day. In this interactive workshop, participants will have the opportunity
to explore trans and gender non-conforming myths and realities.
