SUNY SPECTRUM 2021: Making your Title IX Practices More Inclusive

Making your Title IX Practices More Inclusive: The Intersection of Title IX and LGBTQ+ Support

Description:
Now, more than ever, we need our students to feel welcomed in our spaces. Establishing an inclusive environment is essential for building trust and encouraging students to come forward, report, and share their stories. In this interactive presentation we will focus on various ways you and your campus can be more inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community in your Title IX practices, support, and outreach. This session will include discussions around intake processes, how to support our queer communities of color, and share best practices with colleagues working in the field. Participants with a basic level (or higher) knowledge of current LGBTQ+ terminology will be most successful in this session.

Speakers:

Emma Morcone (She, Her, Hers), Title IX Coordinator and LGBTQ Coordinator, SUNY New Paltz
Nikkie Herman (She, Her, Hers), Chief Diversity Officer and Title IX Coordinator, Alfred State College
