In part one of this forum series, we will spend an hour focused on the unique experiences of our local trans* community. This session is for faculty and staff who desire to increase their understanding of what it is like for a student who identifies as trans* and the unique challenges faced in academic environments. If you have limited experience working with students who are trans*, this session is specifically designed for you!
