Webinar: Creating A Gender-Inclusive Campus Tuesday, April 23
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. For more info See attached flyer |
