First piloted in Fall 2023, our QT BIPOC Initiative works to build community in GMU’s campus community for Queer and/or Trans Black, Indigenous, and People of Color folks.
In partnership with three undergraduate center interns who are hired, trained, and compensated by the LGBTQ+ Resources Center, our focus in the 2024-2025 academic year is laying the groundwork of community via regular meet-ups and visibility so GMU students, faculty, and staff who are QT BIPOC can have space and find each other.
We are lucky to also work with Juton Myers in African and African American Studies Program, who serves as an advisor to the group, and is deeply invested in this work.
So, stay tuned!
After our QT BIPOC center interns start in August 2024, we will be able to share our schedule for regular meet-ups and where you can find more information or engage with us virtually. If you have any questions or want to reach out sooner, you can email their supervisor, Lu GK at ckelemen@gmu.edu!
