of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff; to
raise awareness of issues and concerns surrounding sexual orientation
and gender identity; and to provide resources and support for LGBTQA
students, faculty, and staff at Brandeis.
The first program will be held on April 24 from 2-4 PM in the

all Brandeis undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and staff. To
sign up for the program, please use the following link:

space for this training will be put on a wait list. Additional
trainings will be offered in the fall semester, and those on the wait
list will have priority for those trainings.
