Description for Call
The topic of gender inclusive initiatives has been a prominent one among colleges and universities across the country as we all seek to create more welcoming spaces and communities. On the journey to creating such spaces, there are no doubt triumphs, loses and everything in-between. However, we can count on the fact that we are not in this alone. This call serves as a forum to discuss the various initiatives that are happening on our campuses and to offer each other advice for success. We will be joined by four panelists who will share their expertise in moving gender inclusive initiatives forward on their campuses. We have extra special guest, Lea Robinson, who will be moderating this call!
