Shades: Power to the Student

Join us for Shades from 3–5 pm!

Shades is a discussion-based event series open to all UIS students, faculty, and staff. Our goal is to create a safe, affirming space to explore identity while bringing together QTPOC (Queer & Trans* People of Color) students and allies on campus.

This week’s Shades, Power to the Students, is a Trans Visibility week event! We will focus on student rights and campus policies. Together, students, faculty, and staff will engage in open dialogue about how to use your voice, understand your rights, and navigate campus systems.
