The Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals, in conjunction with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, is proud to offer this opportunity to higher education professionals as an opportunity to connect with colleagues across the region & country, discuss emerging trends in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) student services, and share knowledge and struggles regarding specific campus policies.

This day-long event is a fabulous opportunity to engage with current trends in higher education for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people. We will discuss the needs of LGBTQA students, staff, and faculty. Sessions will highlight emerging practices in gender identity inclusion, policy, research, and student support. The institute is appropriate for all experience levels and professional roles.

About the Consortium

The combined vision and mission of the Consortium is to achieve higher education environments in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni have equity in every respect. Our goals are to support colleagues and develop curriculum to professionally enhance this work; to seek climate improvement on campuses; and to advocate for policy change, program development, and establishment of LGBT Office/Centers.

We represent nearly 600 members worldwide, across a wide range of college, university, and non-profit contexts. Our all-volunteer board is committed to anti-racism, social justice, education, and inclusion.
