TransGeneration is an eight-episode documentary being aired on the
Sundance Channel in September. As part of the series promotion, we
have the opportunity to preview the first episode before the premiere for
free! It looks at the experiences of four transgender students as
they navigate college and their gender identity. <br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Lucas is
an FTM neurobiology senior at Smith College; Gabbie is an MTF computer
science
<x-tab> </x-tab>sophomore
at the University of Colorado at Boulder; Raci from the Philippines is an
MTF pre-law
<x-tab> </x-tab>student at
California State University in Los Angeles; and TJ is an FTM political
activist at Michigan <x-tab> </x-tab>State University. Capturing
their struggles and triumphs, TRANSGENERATION dramatically
<x-tab> </x-tab>unfolds as these four students balance the
challenges of academia, campus life, and family with
<x-tab> </x-tab>their
commitment to gender reassignment. <br><br>
We are offering two screenings, open to staff, faculty and students.

Allies is a network of UCR students, faculty, and staff who are

Potential Allies members will learn about LGBT issues, receive resources
and referral info, interact with a panel of LGBT students, and discuss
issues of heterosexism and privilege. <br>
After attending the seminar, participants may choose to sign a contract
promising to be a safe space, and they receive an Allies placard sign to
