LGBTQ+ Panels
What You Should Know About Panels
Who can request them?
Any campus or community organization, including instructors, residence hall staff, student organizations, or other presentations/workshops.
What is the format?
Panels last around an hour, but can be flexible with the time available. Panelists give a brief personal introduction. The panel lead then presents a basic introduction to LGBTQQIAAA+2S terminology and safer space guidelines. Then, the floor is yours. Panels work best when a group has prepared a few questions to get started.
Reminder:
Panelists are there to share their own experiences with the campus community, they represent themselves and do not speak for the entire LGBTQ+ community. Likewise, panelists can choose not to answer any questions they do not feel comfortable answering.
How can you request an LGBTQ+ Panel? How can you offer to be on a LGBTQ+ Panel?
