"There is no such thing as neutrality. If you have privilege, you can never be neutral, because you are constantly benefiting off of that privilege--even at the same time as you are also being oppressed...It is about moving beyond single-issue politics; it's about understanding the complexities of our lives. It is understanding that fighting for racial justice IS queer; fighting for disability justice IS queer."
-- Mia Mingus

Staff & Faculty Highlight
Ways for Staff and Faculty to get involved with Q-Camp
The UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center would like to invite any and all UCSD staff to Q-Camp, an orientation to the UC San Diego LGBT community for incoming and current students, which will be on September 26, 9:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at the LGBT Resource Center.
The Q-Camp experience is one that helps connect new and returning students to UCSD, to the LGBT community, and to the LGBT Resource Center, and the presence of university staff is an indispensable part of building those relationships. There are many ways that you can be involved:
1. You can come to the community building section of Q Camp and get to know the other folks attending by RSVP'ing here
2. You can also table for your department or with an organization at our Q Fair by RSVP'ing here
3. You can also bring a dish to the Q Camp Potluck.
And of course, you can come for all of Q Camp and utilize all of these opportunities to engage and connect with other members of the UCSD community. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the LGBT Resource Center at rainbow@ucsd.edu.

Graduate Student Highlight
Grad Student Track at Q-Camp
The UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center would like to invite any and all graduate students to Q-Camp, an orientation to the UC San Diego LGBT community for incoming and current students. This year's Q Camp will be September 26, 9:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at the LGBT Resource Center.
We offer a Graduate Student specific track within the Q Camp experience, so that other LGBT-identified graduate students and allies are able to meet one another, build community, and create connections across the university. This also offers grads opportunities to connect with faculty and staff in smaller groups, as well as become more familiar with the resources available on campus and in the LGBT Resource Center.
I encourage you to RSVP for Q Camp by submitting the RSVP form. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the LGBT Resource Center at rainbow@ucsd.edu.
