I am making this request because I would like to know someone in the department interested in doing a presentation for my chapter during our spirit week, August 16th- 20th. I’m hoping the presentation can be centered around ways to create a safe space for individuals going through recruitment and, overall, how we can be better allies to people in the LGBTQ+ community here at Mason.

I would like to host a seminar introducing my new fitness e-book: “I can make you a man: Muscle building 101 for transmen”. As long as give an overall overview of fitness and nutrition as it applies especially to transmen but in general also. Of course any LGBT+ identifying person or ally may attend! An overall itinerary would go something like this:
1. Introduction: Who I am and why the heck should you even listen to me!
2. Participants introduce themselves and why they are interested in fitness
Vibrant fun interactive presentation highlighting critical elements in the ebook
3. Wrap up with offering my private coaching 1 hour sessions: only $5 for people who identify as ftm transmen, $20 for Mason students, $60 for non Mason students
Anyone who attends will get a free copy of the ebook sent to their email! If approved I can have flyers made 🙂
I am the President for the Model World Health Organization and I founded a program for high school students to learn about global health. Each month students have one meeting on global health topics and then an extra required meeting on diversity in healthcare. We would like to know if your team could present on healthcare needs of the LGBTQ+ population. If possible we’d also like to talk more generally about inclusion. This event may also be open to our college members.

My name is Hunter Young and I am the President of the Alpha Omega Delta Chapter of Chi Psi Fraternity at George Mason University. I would really like if someone from your office came in and did a brief (ideally 20-30 minute) presentation/training for our brothers about allyship and sterotypes. We have encountered some issues both inside and outside of our organization recently of people using homophobic slurs or making jokes that are not appropriate. I think that a training from your office would work wonders for the brothers of our organization and ensure that future instances do not occur. Almost a fifth of our organization is part of the LGBTQ+ community and ensuring the happiness and comfort of all of our brothers is paramount to me as their president.
