An open forum will be held on Sept. 9 to
discuss goals for the Center for the Study
of Gender and Sexuality.

Kent State University students, staff, faculty, administrators and community members are invited to an open forum on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 6-8 p.m. to discuss the creation of and goals for the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality. The forum, which will be followed by a free reception, will take place in Room 317 at the Kent Student Center, and also will provide updates on developments in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Studies and Women’s Studies.

This summer, a planning committee composed of faculty, staff and students developed a comprehensive plan outlining the mission, vision and values of the emerging center.

Attend this forum to meet members of the planning committee, the director in charge of developing the center and other people interested and involved with LGBT Studies, Women's Studies and the proposed center. Share your ideas and get involved as we move forward on developing new course offerings, research, grant opportunities and scholarly programming on the study of gender and sexuality.

The reception is hosted by the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
