TBD

Queer Coalition will be sponsoring a Trans Resilience Colloquium (hopefully the first annual!) with the Department of Psychology on November 12, 2025 from 2-4 p.m. (location TBD). This interdisciplinary forum will be dedicated to celebrating, amplifying, and uplifting trans issues, voices, and experiences through short, rapid-fire presentations and other forms of creative expression. This is an excellent opportunity to share emerging research, get practice public speaking, or workshop your elevator pitch for your dissertation/thesis! The submission window will close at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, October 26th.
