Understanding Gender

Join us at this workshop about gender! We will be learning about gender identity, gender expression, gender roles, and so much more! We will be in the Student union Center Ballroom from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. 

LGBTea offers a comfortable, accepting, and non-judgmental social atmosphere for students with marginalized gender and/or sexual identities and allied peers. Students hang out, watch movies, listen to music, make plans for the weekend, and play games (Just to name a few!). We will have light snacks and refreshments!

How to Human: Laundry Without the Panic

Join the Women’s Center for the first event in our How to Human series! This hands-on, beginner-friendly event will help you learn the basics of doing laundry, from sorting your clothes to washing, drying, and keeping your favorite outfits in good shape. Come learn, ask questions, and leave feeling a little more confident about independent living! Open to all UIS students, faculty, and staff. For questions or accommodations, contact us at womenscenter@uis.edu or 217-206-7173.
