Campus Activities and Events

1. Barriers in Healthcare for LGBTQ Patients - 12:00p, Wednesday 8/23 @ Estes Lecture Room (room TBA)
This talk will be given by Amanda Porter and Corrine Goodwin, representations from Lehigh Valley Renaissance. LV Renaissance is a transgender support group that aims to provide nonjudgmental support to transgender individuals and education to our community. They will lead a group conversation on how gender identity affects interactions with healthcare providers and the healthcare system. We are keeping this talk as informal and as conversational as possible, so bring your questions! Lunch will be provided.
