This Fall, the GSRC will sponsor a select number of students to attend the 45th Annual National Women’s Studies Association Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This year, NWSA’s theme will be An Honour Song: Feminist Struggles, Feminist Victories and we invite applications from undergraduate and graduate students whose academic and/or co-curricular involvement connects to this theme and mission of NWSA.

Applications for NWSA 2025 have now closed, check back again soon for future conference opportunities!

During Fall 2024 (Oct. 25 - 27), the GSRC sponsored eight students to attend the Midwest Bisexual Lesbian Transgender Asexual College Conference (MBLGTACC) in Marquette, Michigan. This valuable conference brought together a diverse group of students for informative workshops, inspiring keynote speakers, and meaningful opportunities to connect, share personal experiences, and build a sense of community.

In addition to the enriching sessions, we took the time to explore the beautiful Marquette area, enjoying its stunning natural scenery, charming local landmarks, and vibrant community atmosphere.

During Spring 2024, the GSRC sponsored 11 students to attend the National LGBTQ Task Force’s annual Creating Change Conference in New Orleans. Students attended four days of presentations, keynotes, and academic sessions, while also getting to learn about the history of New Orleans.

The GSRC was also able to support five faculty and staff from departments around the university in attending Creating Change.
