Spring 2023 Sessions

Session #1: LGBTQIA2S+ and Religion

The intersectionality of the LGBTQIA2S+ identity and the spiritual identity of an individual is a complex spectrum that is rooted in history, community-making, shame, and intentionality. Through this session, the hope is that one will learn more of the historical context of the two identities and how those within both communities either find a balance or move their own ways. This session will also explore the ideas of the progressive movements of spiritualities and a future embracement of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Presented by: Donn Garby, Director of Residential Operations and Student Living

The dates for this session has passed - recordings will be posted soon.

Session #2: Power of Personality and Human Connections

Individuals who participate in this workshop can expect to gain an increased understanding of self and others based on personality disposition. This is a great workshop to improve one’s level of understanding on how their approach to the environment may trigger certain responses from coworkers and how coworker behaviors may trigger our behaviors by removing certain preconceived ideas we have of one another.

Presented by: Dr. David Rivera, Peter & Sue Freytag Professor, Director, Hospitality & Tourism Management, Chair, Department of Business Administration
