A group of students and staff from the three campuses are collaborating to bring to you Queer Orientation Week! This infamous week is for NOT just for new students to campus...it is for all LGBTTIQ2S identified students and allies who want to meet other students, connect in with what's happening on campus, and have a very different rather queer orientation to the University of Toronto!

Events are scheduled after the initial craze of first week or so on campus - there are a range of events to hook into throughout the week, whether you are a new or returning student, undergrad or graduate, at Scarborough, Mississauga or St. George campus. Looking to volunteer or want more information? please contact us

Are you interested in hosting an event at your college? or for your organization? Please let us know and we will post the event here and incorporate it into the Queer Orientation Week of events.

There are lots of details on Facebook: University of Toronto's Queer Orientation

Schedule is posted here: http://www.lgbtq.utoronto.ca/orientation

Marching is way better than watching.

Join us on Rosedale Valley Rd. as we prepare ourselves to march in the Pride Parade.

Pride Toronto's theme this year is "Unified," so the UT Pride Committee has decided to follow that theme by dressing as a sports team, or a Homecoming King or Queen. Fuck with gender. Come adorned in your athletic best (a jersey will be provided) and march - not just for fun, but for change. Joining us again is Samba Elegua, a local ensemble that will surely get you in the mood to march.

*1:00pm SHARP! Access to Rosedale Valley Rd. will be restricted after 1:00pm. You cannot join the parade after it has started.

*LGBTOUT STUDENT AWARDS APPLICATION DEADLINE: 15 MARCH 2008*

If you are an undergraduate student in a first-entry division (Arts and Science, Engineering, Music, etc.) at any U of T campus, and you have made a volunteer contribution to creating change on campus or in the community through LGBTQ service and/or activism, you are invited to apply for an LGBTOUT Student Award.

One of these awards requires a demonstration of financial need, and is limited to Canadian citizens living in Ontario. If you do not satisfy these particular requirements you should still apply for the award that does not depend on financial need.

A confidential letter of reference must accompany the application, in addition to a one-page resume or description of community contribution.

Further details and application forms may be found at either of the sites below:

www.awards.lgbtout.com/apply.html
www.utoronto.ca/sexualdiversity/content/programInfo/LGBTOUT.html

The awards are administered by and must be submitted to the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies. Remember that the application deadline is March 15th, 2008.

The awards are ~$1000 each.

This workshop is brought to you by LGBTOUT, SEC & LGBTQ Resources.

This event is to help educate people on issues facing Trans-People in society, how Cis-Gender (non trans) people are privileged in society. And how as allies we can help create a more inclusive enviroment for gender diversity. This event also coincides with The Trans Day of Rememberance, and after it we will be heading over to the 519 for the Vigil which starts at 7.
