About the Summer Institute
The Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals offers a unique educational opportunity to higher education professionals. At our day-long institute, professionals are invited to connect with colleagues across the region, discuss emerging trends in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) student services, and share knowledge and struggles regarding specific campus policies. Faculty for the institute are Consortium board members, local Consortium members, and other regional experts.
Participants will discuss trends in LGBTQ student services, develop collaborative structures for networking, engage in critical discussions about policies, and define strategies for sustainable campus partnerships. It is aimed at higher education professionals, administrators, and graduate students who are seeking to better serve LGBTQ campus communities.
