Next Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012, you're invited to join Campus Pride Executive Director Shane Windmeyer and Campus Pride's Queer Research Institute for Higher Education scholar and 2010 State of Higher Education for LGBT People co-author Sue Rankin, associate professor in education policy studies/college student affairs at The Pennsylvania State University, for a special webinar exploring critical issues for LGBT student safety and inclusion on college campuses.

From PaperClip Communications: "This fall, Elmhurst College (IL) became the first college in the nation to ask applicants about sexual orientation. Other colleges are considering this move as well as other ways that they can create a more welcoming environment for their LGBT population on campus. While there have been strides in understanding concerns relevant to the LGBT population, it is essential that academia address the emerging issues and concerns impacting LGBT people within institutions of higher education. The Campus Pride "2010 State of Higher Education for LGBT People" revealed an alarming degree of harassment and discrimination toward LGBT people."

Looking Beyond Transgender Day of Remembrance: Educating Campus Communities about the Lives of Transgender People

Moderator: Shane Windmeyer, Campus Pride

Guest Presenters: Genny Beemyn, Ph.D, Director, The Stonewall Center, UMass Amherst & Nancy Jean Tubbs, Director, LGBT Resource Center, University of California, Riverside

3 p.m. EST - $95 per site includes web recording

Description: Although transgender 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) faculty, staff, and students lack even a basic understanding of the lives of transgender individuals. Clearly work must be done to educate campus communities. This webinar will focus on how institutions can implement a campus-wide transgender ally training program or offer transgender ally training sessions for specific departments and offices. The presenters, who have extensive experience conducting transgender-focused trainings and presentations on college campuses, will discuss their strategies for educating different audiences and share the handouts and exercises that they use in different training sessions.

Participants will gain knowledge on:

Campus Pride is proud to feature this special webinar from scholars Genny Beemyn and Sue Rankin and their forthcoming book The Lives of Transgender People (Columbia University Press). Based on interviews with 400 self-identified transgender people from throughout the United States, this webinar compares the experiences of individuals from different transgender groups and offers a series of “touchstones,” or significant life moments, in the gender identity development processes of the participants who identify as MTFs, FTMs, female-presenting crossdressers, and genderqueer individuals. Participants will learn how the experiences of younger transgender people today differ from the experiences of previous transgender generations and how transgender youth are changing the definition of what it means to be transgender. This webinar is a "must" for any college wanting to understand and learn more about their transgender students, faculty and staff and how to create a safer, more welcoming campus for everyone.

Campus Pride has two great webinars coming up in our regular Campus Pride Webinar Series. Check them out below and register today! Don't miss out!
