October is on it's way out and we are winding down our celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month! It feels like this month has absolutely flown by, but I hope you were able to make it to at least one of the great events held on campus. If not, I hope you can join our friends at Maine Bound for Climb with Pride and a special showing of the film 'They/Them.'

I want to take this moment to congratulate my LGBTQ+ friends and family who have made the bold choice to come out and share their gender and/or sexuality with the folks in their lives.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and October 11th is both Indigenous Peoples Day AND National Coming Out Day. Out of respect for Indigenous Peoples Day and for Fall Break, we will be celebrating Coming Out Week the following week, October 18-22. We will have a finalized list of events with dates, times, and locations in our next newsletter, but we're excited to have our pride button and painting events confirmed, as well as a visit and HIV/Hepatitis C testing with our friends at Health Equity Alliance!
