The Consortium at Creating Change

Creating Change is an annual conference organized by the National LGBTQ Task Force. We encourage you to attend the Racial Justice Institute on the first day and invite you to our day-long institute for interested members committed to their personal and professional growth and development. The Consortium also holds its annual business meeting during this conference in which members can find out what’s new, share in the recognition of your peers and colleagues with an award ceremony, and connect with colleagues from across the U.S. and abroad. Join us at Creating Change 2018 in Washington, D.C.!

These stressors may lead to QTS students’ greater propensity to use and abuse alcohol and/or drugs, to think about or attempt suicide, and to consider leaving their college/university.
