Students: A Daylong Institute
This institute is open to any
higher education staff or faculty interested in discussing strategies for
supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning students

is important to build support networks across an institution. The
institute is free of charge and designed for anyone in the Great Lakes region
to attend.

Congratulations to these students for participating in our Day on the Hill event in Springfield this Wednesday, February 26th and advocating for counseling related legislation in Illinois. As many faculty who have gone and know, it is always an interesting, fun and somewhat unpredictable day - this time was no different. Our group was made up of mostly school counseling and CSD students but I was especially pleased that most of the participants are early in the program. It was my honor to be alongside out students as they learned the significance of advocacy at the legislative level. Please ask them what they learned. Students, please send me any worthy photos that you took during the day. And of course there will be another trip next year! A special thanks goes to Helen Papas and Allison Casey as DSCO leaders for making name tags for our group (they proved to be quite important!) and to Dr. Whitman and Jennifer Sonnenberg for assisting with name tag materials from the department. And thanks to those faculty members who encouraged the trip or made it an option or extra credit for their courses. The participants were: Alvarez, Ruben Casey, Allison Coppejans, Autumn Debe, Oliver Narr, Paige Papas, Helen Robinson, Lavon Thomas, Kierra Tingley, Diane Himerding, Jill Ross, Lauren May we all be agents of change, Dr. M
