News from Joseph M. Williams, Team Project Manager:
The Champlain College LGBTQ Affinity Group is back in action this semester and going strong. We would like to invite any and all Champlain College faculty and staff members to come join us and participate in our monthly meetings and socials throughout the month. The Champlain College LGBTQ Affinity Group is a caucus group comprised of faculty and staff who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. The group aims to bring LGBTQ people at Champlain College together in a supportive space. This means, the intention is to offer a variety of :
1) in-group social activities
2) supportive space to discuss areas of concern
3)educational and cross-departmental/organizational collaborative opportunities.
One of the first educational programs this semester will be , “You Cannot Tell Just By Looking”. It is the title of a book about dispelling popular myths about LGBTQ individuals. We are looking to engage and educate the Champlain community in conversation about the variance of LGBTQ individuals in a monologue and dialogue presentation. We are looking for panelist to help with the program. You can learn more about this at our next meeting or feel free to email me if you have any question or comments.
The Champlain College Affinity Group will also be engaging in socials outside of Champlain College. To give us a place to do some in group socializing and networking. These social are open to any LGBTQ faculty and staff at Champlain College. If you interested in being part of the Champlain College LGBTQ Affinity Group or just want more information, please respond to this email and let me know your interests. I will add you to our email list and update you on meeting times and locations as well as socials throughout the month. Please join us for our next meeting where we will be discus all of the above and much more.
