Trans Day of Remembrance
Tuesday, Nov. 20, 6-9 p.m.
Harper Hall then Main Hall south steps

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance that honors the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. This year, local musician Nicholas Raymond will perform and speak prior to our candlelight vigil and reading of the list of people lost to anti-transgender violence this year.

In addition to these events, the Faculty/Staff Pride Group will also host its monthly happy hour on Thursday, Nov. 8, 5-7 pm at Dr. Jekyll’s. These happy hours reoccur monthly on the second Thursday of the month. 

Questions about any of these events can be directed to Dakota Williams or Helen Boyd Kramer.
