Winter Q Camp
January 8 | 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
LGBT Resource Center
 Winter Q Camp is different than Fall Q Camp, because it's a less formal way to re-connect with community members and with the LGBT Resource Center. It's also our tradition for kicking off the new quarter together. You'll get to hear what's coming up winter quarter at the LGBT Resource Center, find out when groups are meeting, and share some snacks with old friends. I do hope you allow us to welcome in the new quarter and the new year with you!
