OUTreach

OutReach panels are educational interventions in which volunteer gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and supportive heterosexual allied people share their personal stories and respond to questions and comments from an audience. These panels are frequently used on campus to reduce homophobic/heterosexist attitudes while also serving as an outreach program of the LGBTQ Resource Center. Often these panels are used in a classroom setting to provide personal experience in addition to course material. For more info click here.
