Summer 2017 Consortium Institute Call for Proposals
Would you like to bring the Consortium board to your campus?
We are pleased to announce the Consortium's invitation for proposals to host the 2017 Day-Long Summer Institute! Your campus could host a professional development opportunity for your region. Since 2009, the Consortium board has hosted a summer planning retreat at different campuses across the U.S. including University at Albany-SUNY and University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Before the retreat, we have hosted a Consortium Summer Institute with the host institution. Since the retreat travels, we would like to take the retreat and institute to a new location where it can benefit our members.
In the attached document (also found online at http://bit.ly/2017instituteProposal), you will find descriptions of the Institute and the partnership between the hosting institution and the Consortium. The detailed proposal form (pgs 3 - 7 of the attachment) includes an opportunity to outline proposed dates, venue(s), logistics and much more.
Consider inviting the Consortium board to your campus in Summer 2017. The deadline for proposals is Friday, December 16, 2016! What questions do you have?

The Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals Endorses Congressman Hank Johnson’s Inclusive Campuses Act
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DATE September 30, 2016
The Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals enthusiastically endorses H.R. 6164, the Inclusive Campuses Act of 2016, which was introduced this week by U.S. Representative Hank Johnson (GA-4). If passed into law, this measure would promote inclusion and empowerment of LGBTQ people at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority serving institutions. This federal legislation would take a critical step forward by authorizing Title III education funds to establish campus resource centers that provide support for LGBTQ students as well as programming resources and education about LGBTQ people to the entire campus community at our nation’s HBCUs and other minority serving institutions. “The Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals was happy to work with Rep. Johnson on the drafting of this legislation and we look forward to enhancing our own membership support for the work of LGBTQ campus resource centers at HBCUs and other minority serving institutions,” said D.A. Dirks, Co-Chair of the Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals.
