This year we also educated allies to partake in freshman floor facilitations and to be campus resources for questions about LGBTQ life.

We held several community dinners with faculty and administrators, including Larissa Hopkins, T.M. Mosley, and Judy Williams, co-sponsored an event surrounding the progress of queer activism at Dartmouth with Women’s Forum and LGBTQ advisor Pam Misener, and threw a joint “Drag-o-ween party” with GSX. In addition, we worked with Dick’s House staff and Pam to run a continuing medical education discussion aimed at creating a safe and comfortable space for LGBTQ students in health services. As part of an initiative to increase campus awareness, we are facilitating discussions with Greek houses on LGBTQ issues and sensitivity.

We’re looking forward to benefitting from Pam’s advice and experience until her departure, and we will continue to work closely with OPAL to ensure that we have a support system. OPAL’s new director Alysson Satterlund is a great ally and we anticipate a wonderful collaboration with her over the next year.

Thanks to the amazing Kurt Prescott ‘12 for his leadership and commitment to Outreach over the past year as Outreach’s Co-Chair. As you know, Kurt was a great resource and worked tirelessly to improve the program and build relationships with partners on campus. Wish Kurt the best as he heads on to graduate school at Harvard next year!

The program hopes to help students explore their personal interests, take advantage of campus resources, and find their own sense of community.

So far, the program has trained over 20 undergraduate students as mentors within a term of being established.

Training involves a cohesive curriculum of workshops to prepare students for their roles as mentors.  The program mentors have been in full force since the arrival of the class of 2014.
