Earlier in the year we wrote a blog about the way UO students feel when they interact with members of the LGBTQ community and others that are different from themselves in some way. The results were interesting in that they showed a large degree of discomfort for students when they had interactions with people outside of their daily bubble. University of Oregon student Nic Adenau recently published a book that might help to change some of this social division.

This is a very exciting opportunity for our institution to continue to develop our LGBTQA students in social justice issues and service work. This trip is designed for anyone who is LGBTQI or ally identified and is interested in working with underrepresented LGBTQ folks. We are hoping to take 12 people this year so please apply by 11:59 p.m. Friday, January 13, 2012 for the opportunity to be one of those 12!
