Queer on Campus: A Conversation about LGBTQ+ Inclusivity with the CEO of Campus Pride

Dear Colleagues, 

In honor of LGBTQ+ History Month and National Coming Out Day, I would like to invite you to join us for this timely conversation about the current LGBTQ+ state of affairs across higher education. 

Shane Windmeyer (he/they), founder and CEO of Campus Pride, will share their expertise gleaned from over 20 years of experience working to make college campuses across the country more inclusive for LGBTQ+ identities. Together with CMU’s Dr. Harrison Apple (they/them), who will bring their own expertise and passion around Queer culture and history, and questions solicited from the CMU community, we will discuss current trends, themes, and issues, and the collective work that still lies ahead. I encourage you to join us for what’s sure to be an engaging hour of conversation!
