Dear Friend of the Community Center,

The fourth annual GSA Leadership Summit -- a collaborative project with Dickinson College's Office of Diversity Initiatives and Planned Parenthood of Central PA -- was a huge success on Friday, February 25. Over 240 participants heard from keynote speaker Peterson Toscano about Identity, Bullying, and Building a Better School; took part in several of an excellent selection of workshops; and met with students, professionals, and community members toward creating safer schools and communities for all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
 
Follow the GSA Leadership Summit on facebook, to stay up-to-date on our plans for 2012, and see photos from this year's event.

 

Thanks to sponsors PSEA, The Hershey Company, and  Hershey Entertainment and Resorts; presenters and volunteers; all who attended!    
 

Sincerely,


Louie Marven
