We're so glad you're here!  Lots of events and learning opportunities with LGBT-themes are being planned for the coming year, and here are just a few to start off the year:

• Tonight - a reception for new students will take place at 6:30 pm in Textor 103.  Come see old friends and meet new ones, meet the LGBT Center program director and some of the students involved in the LGBT Center, and enjoy some refreshments, too!  Immediately following the reception, the first Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen Film Series screening will take place in the same room.  The film begins at 7 pm.
• Next week - Wednesday September 7, at 4 pm in the Handwerker Gallery (near the campus library) will be a Salon discussion “Kurt and Callie and Waylon Smithers too—Media Portrayals of LGBT Characters” - the Salon series is a Handwerker Gallery program aimed at providing students, faculty, staff and members of the community a forum outside of a classroom setting for intellectual discussion and debate.

Come on out to one or all of these events to kick off the new year.  I look forward to meeting you!
