EDUCATION & TRAININGS
Educational workshops and trainings are available for all students, staff, and faculty at Augsburg University. These workshops are a great way to learn about the LGBTQIA+ community and an opportunity to ask questions. They covers topics such as LGBTQIA+ history and culture, myths and stereotypes, privilege, allyship, confronting LGBTQIA+ bias, recognizing and dismantling LGBTQIA+ oppression, and more. Workshops are offered and advertised to the entire campus each semester, and customized trainings are available to departments, offices, and student organizations by request.
QUEERING CAREER
This ongoing series is a partnership between LGBTQIA+ Student Services & the Strommen Center. The program creates space and visibility for LGBTQIA+ students to see themselves represented as entrepreneurs, business owners, and individuals with a career. We travel to locally-owned LGBTQIA+ businesses, among hosting panels and workshops discussing topics, including: respectability politics, coming out at work, transitioning on the job, and more.
