My first event my co-coordinator Olivia and I planned is coming up in less than two weeks! Ah. Laverne Cox, from the show ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, will be coming to UMass Amherst October 21st at 7pm in the Student Union Ballroom for a speaking event. " Cox will be discussing her part in being an advocate for transgender representation in the media. She is passionate about telling stories in the media that reflect the full depth, diversity, and humanity of transgender experience."

I'm really excited for this and we're collaborating with a bunch of different RSOs for this event. I hope the turn out is great. It's open to the 5 Colleges, however UMass students get priority.

Make sure you tell your friends and come out!
