QHeadlines
Are you a student and around this summer? Jonesing already for connecting with your queer peers? TWO different meet-ups at the Cantu are being dreamed up but we need your feedback to see if there's enough interest! 1) Interested in an LGBTQIA RPG group (sort of like a Summer Geeks) that would meet bi-monthly and play games like Dungeons and Dragons, Arkham Horror, and other exciting adventure games? We would probably meet during the weekend, but let us hear from you about your interest and availability! 2) Wednesday Weekly Lunch. If enough folks are interested, we'll host a drop-in space to bring your lunch and hang out with other queer/allied students. The Cantu will provide some healthy snacks, too! Dining halls & campus restaurants open during the summer are here.If you're interested in either of these events, please email Dillon Teal of QSU here.
 Let your queer voice be heard!
Take the UC Undergraduate Experience Survey, make a difference, and get a chance to win one of three iPad Airs, $100 gift cards, and other prizes! June 30th deadline. Take it here!

The 16th Annual Rainbow Ceremony was an incredible event thanks to our dedicated Cantu interns and staff as well as many campus volunteers, too many to name here. We especially thank our keynote speaker, Monica Jones; our alumna speaker, Jess Arevalo; our faculty speaker, Ronaldo Wilson; and American Indian Resource Center director Carolyn Dunn, who opened our ceremony with her powerful voice singing Honor Song. Our student speakers made powerful remarks and we thank them, too: Margarita Caracheo, Aaron Humberto Cruz, Shar Heidari, Minerva Magdalene and Jonathan Menendez.
