GSA will host their annual “Coming Out Wall” throughout the month of October in the student life center at IVCC. This will be open to all students and staff who would like to share their coming out story or post messages of support for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
There will also be a table with informational resources about the LGBTQIA+ community and for LGBTQIA+ individuals on the table in front of the wall, according to Amanda Cook-Fesperman, who is one of the advisors of the club.
Additionally, on Oct. 20 at 12:30, GSA and the DEI committee will be co-sponsoring former IVCC English instructor and author, Joe Chianakas, for a special event in Jacob’s Library. During this time, Chianakas will be doing a book signing and will talk about his books. Anyone who attends will have a chance to win or purchase a signed book.
