The Higher Education and Student Affairs Leadership Student Organization and the GLBTA Resource Office will host a webinar titled "Creating a Gender Inclusive Campus" at 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 29, the Columbine B room in the University Center.
Although trans and gender-nonconforming people have become more visible on college campuses and in the media and popular culture over the last decade, many cisgender (non-transgender) student affairs professionals lack even a basic understanding of the lives of trans individuals and how to meet their needs through creating a more gender-inclusive campus.
This webinar will discuss the complex ways that students understand and express their gender today and the best practices and policies to support trans and gender-nonconforming students. Areas covered will include housing, facilities, health services, student activities, athletics, and admissions. A particular emphasis will be placed on how trans identities intersect with other aspects of student identities.
