LGBTQI Community Dinner
When: Wednesday, Feb. 6th, 6-7pm
Where: Lincoln Room, Seymour Hall
The Center for Intercultural Life (CIL) in collaboration with the Human Rights Center and Common Ground invites LGBTQI identifying faculty, staff and students to a community building.
Knox has had an increasing population of LGBTQI identifying students and we are hoping to build a stronger intergenerational LGBTQI community with students, faculty, and staff. We believe this would allow for a stronger sense of safety, inclusion and solidarity on our campus and in our campus community.
