The Chancellor and Provost Committee on LGBTQ Concerns will be hosting “Beyond Visibility”, a lunch and discussion for all LGBTQ employees (academic professional, civil service, faculty, graduate workers, etc.) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The theme of this event is to discuss the intersectionality of some of the most pressing issues affecting our campus and beyond. Specifically, we hope to engage the LGBTQ community and their role and involvement regarding the State of Illinois’ budget crisis, campus leadership transitions, and recent events at the University of Missouri, Yale University, our campus, and much more. The luncheon will be held on Tuesday, December 8th from 11:30am-1:00pm in the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. In its fourth iteration, the Beyond Visibility luncheon brings together more than 60 participants across all campus units. As an LGBTQ employee at Illinois, your presence and input is needed and critical inform our committee’s work and assist in making Illinois a more inclusive community. The Chancellor’s Committee on LGBTQ Concerns is comprised of a group of faculty, staff, and students that is charged by the Chancellor and Provost to provide advice and leadership on LGBTQ issues for the campus community. The committee is asked to address the needs of faculty, staff, and students of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities to help create an inclusive climate that fosters community building and networking across campus. If you are an LGBTQ employee and would like to attend, please confirm your attendance below by Thursday, December 3rd at 3:45pm.
