Funky Fresh Fridays
Session 1: Zumba
January 11 | 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
LGBT Resource Center, Conference Room
 Every Friday of Winter quarter the LGBT Resource Center will host weekly fitness sessions in collaboration with Recreations. Join us in relieving stress in healthy, supportive, and fun ways. Winter quarter usually tends to be the quarter of burnout, so let's make it a healthy burn! The activities, levels of intensity, and times will vary each Friday. Wear comfortable clothes and supportive shoes. You may also want to bring water and a towel. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Michelle Strange at mdstrange@ucsd.edu.

Graduate Student Highlight
 Hello All! My name is Anthony Del Real and I am the current Community-Based Block (CBB) Intern here at the LGBT Resource Center for this academic year. I am also a recent graduate from UCSD this past June. The CBB Program is a 1-year graduate program at San Diego State that promotes the development of its student's skills in effective multi-cultural counseling. Through my internship this year at the LGBT Resource Center, I am hoping to be able to make personal connections with community members at the Center; to learn, grow and develop with one another. Therefore, I am offering myself as a resource to you all. If you are interested in having a conversation, have lunch, and/or just chill, you can usually find me at the LGBT Resource Center on Thursday and Friday. I hope to meet more folks soon and thank you for your time! :)

CALL ME KUCHU Film Screening
 CALL ME KUCHU is a compelling and intimate portrait of an ordinary man with extraordinary courage and conviction. The film also provides rare insight into a lesser examined sexual and gender rights movement, and sheds light on the shocking role of American evangelicals in fueling state-sanctioned homophobia in Uganda. It illustrates by example the ways in which grassroots human rights activists are working through international bodies such as the UN to change the situation in their countries. Full details about the San Diego screening can be found here: http://www.mopa.org/event/2013-01-24/human-rights-watch-film-festival-opening-night-call-me-kuchu. |
