The ODEI kicks off our 2020 celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month with a professional development opportunity to learn about using inclusive language to help make our campus and society more affirming of our LGBTQ+ colleagues, students, friends, and family!

More events and opportunities forthcoming. Stay tuned! In the meantime…

Join us on October 7, 2020 from 10-11:30am! Register here. 

This session will provide you with an opportunity to learn about currently appropriate terminology as well as the reasoning behind why these terms are generally preferred. This will be a safe space to ask questions, voice concerns, and share your experiences. If you register, but are unable to attend, you will receive a video recording of the session.

Presented with Nicholas Palisch, Director of Student and Alumni Services in the College of Optometry and Lynn M. Staley, Teaching Professor, Department of English, Specialist in Gender and Interdisciplinary Studies.

Registration with an umsl.edu or umsystem.edu email is required. Thank you!
