LGBT Students Attend Conference: A conference to educate and inspire future leaders of the LGBTQIA Movement
The University of California, Merced and the University of the Pacific are proud to present the Western Regional Conference 2012: Lead the movement, Be the change. Loyola Marymount is excited for this opportunity in Stockton, California. This year the conference will offer a variety of exciting speakers, great entertainment, amazing educational sessions, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends and connections throughout the greater LGBTQIA community.
Over the summer, the University of California, Merced and the University of the Pacific joined forces to co-host the Western Regional Conference! They are excited that Loyola Marymount University students will be joining them for this event. The conference planning committee has been working hard in the anticipation of hundreds of students from across the state to arrive. They have lined up many outstanding speakers, programs and an amazing headline act for the students to enjoy.
LGBTQIA life has grown and enhanced over the last few decades and we are proud of our progress. While LGBTQIA leaders have come together for many years, our committee felt it was important to bring together students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members from the western United States. By coming together, they hope that our students will have a chance to learn from each other, develop strong friendships and social networks, and learn how you can be an active leader within your community and institution.
As a result of participating in this conference, participants will: Engage thoughtfully and meaningfully in educational sessions designed to enhance their interpersonal and social development. Network in ways that cultivate friendships and relationships with other students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members. Strengthen their identity and have pride for being members of the LGBTQIA community. Learn about opportunities for involvement and social activism in order to become active leaders on their campuses and in their communities.
