Donate to keep Kate, a pansexual college student, in school. Kate's family stopped financially supporting her because of her queer identity, but you can lend a hand here! 
 
Did you know that if YOU are a queer student whose family has cut you off from financial support due to your queerness, Financial Aid and the Cantu will help you? Contact Director Deb for more information.

Director Deb is busy meeting with campus folks to plan Fall trainings. RA's, TA's, Admissions' advisers, and CAPS interns are just a few of the staff who receive a GLBTIAQ cultural competency training every year. These trainings aren't that visible, but the results are that queer students step onto a campus where staff have a basic level of knowledge of their unique needs.  
Lesley is busy making improvements to our already wonderful website! Tam and DJ are back from their vacations and rolling up their sleeves. Hope all are having a fabulously queer summer!
