[Anna Tognazzini]

The following opportunities are available for staff in September and October.

*TransGeneration Screening - Wednesday, Sept. 14
*Open House - Tuesday, Oct. 4
*Allies Seminars - First one on Tuesday, Oct. 18


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.

         Lucas is an FTM neurobiology senior at Smith College; Gabbie is an 
MTF computer science         sophomore at the University of Colorado at 
Boulder; Raci from the Philippines is an MTF pre-law         student at 
California State University in Los Angeles; and TJ is an FTM political 
activist at Michigan  State University. Capturing their struggles and 
triumphs, TRANSGENERATION dramatically  unfolds as these four students 
balance the challenges of academia, campus life, and family 
with         their commitment to gender reassignment.

We are offering two screenings, open to staff, faculty and students.
         Tuesday, September 13           5:00pm-6:30pm   LGBTRC (250 Costo 
Hall)
         Wednesday, September  14        noon-1:30pm             Lower 
Level Mtg Rms (Costo Hall)
         (feel free to bring food with you)

This is a great professional development opportunity to see how four 
college-age trans students navigate college and their gender identity.

NO NEED to RSVP.  Just show up!


Open House - Learn about resources, programs, student groups, and special 
events for LGBT people and their Allies at the LGBTRC Open House. Enjoy 
free food, and a chance to make connections with the campus community 
supportive of LGBT folks and their allies.

Tuesday, Oct. 4 - 4:30-6:00pm at the LGBTRC in 250 Costo Hall.


Allies Seminar - Any student, faculty, or staff interested in joining the 
Allies Safe Zone program should attend an Allies seminar.

Allies is a network of UCR students, faculty, and staff who are supportive 
of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people, and of anyone dealing with 
sexual orientation or gender identity issues.

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.
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 
hang outside their office or residence hall room.

Participants must RSVP to the LGBT Resource Center, 827-2267 or out at ucr.edu.
Pizza provided.
