Remebering Angela August
From Shaun Travers, Director of UC San Diego's LGBT Resource Center
Dear friends~
As many of you know, Thurgood Marshall student Angela August's life was cut short last week in a tragic car accident on June 11th, just as she was about to graduate from UC San Diego. Many in our community knew Angela, and her artwork was proudly on display in our Center last year. To honor her life, we will display Angela's work from now and throughout the month of July in the Community Art Section of UC San Diego's LGBT Resource Center's library. For those of you in San Diego for the summer, please stop by during July and take a moment to remember Angela, her life and her artistry.
For any students who are in need of support and assistance during this difficult time, you are encouraged to contact Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Counselors are on call on a 24-hour basis and can be reached after hours at (858) 534-3755. If you are a faculty or staff member looking for counseling and support, you can contact the Faculty Staff Assistance Program at (858) 534-5523.

"The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is a normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave."

Graduate Student Highlight
Your Space
Welcome graduate students to the UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center. Our Center serves all constituents of the UC San Diego community, including and especially our graduate students. Our space is open to all constituents, although we know from our statistics that the majority of the folks who use our space on a daily basis are undergraduate students. However, our second largest category is graduate students, so we encourage you to make the Resource Center your own.
Grad students: this space is yours! Please use the LGBT Resource Center to hold your office hours and small seminar classes. You can fill out a room reservation form here. Our conference room provides a great study space for many graduate student study groups, presentations, and research based work. The Heritage room is also a great space to work or take a nap after reading and grading. If you feel too isolated already by the summer's energy, hang out in the Family room. Between the library, computers with free printing, and cozy couches, you are certain to find community at the LGBT Resource Center. |
