Introduction from Jim Toy, December 2014
December 12, 2014 | By Jim Toy
Our celebration of Transgender Awareness Week reminds me how humbled I am to have been a part of our liberation. The first time a community member came to Spectrum--then called the Lesbian Gay Male Programs Office--to ask about resources for transgender people, I was limited to offering contact information for a therapist. LGBPO had barely begun to address the concerns of bisexual students, let alone to become aware and supportive of the concerns of transgender people.

Change it Up! program finishes its first semester at the University
December 12, 2014 | By Ashley Schwedt, bystander intervention graduate coordinator, marketing & design consultant
Have you ever noticed a harmful situation and wanted to help, but didn't? Have you ever not recognized a situation as harmful because it didn't personally affect you? Have you ever said something potentially harmful and then felt unsure about how to proceed? Most folks will answer yes to at least one of these questions, and that is nothing to feel guilty about!
