This afternoon we released our statement in response to the Title IX changes against LGBTQ+ communities. We thank you for your patience as we gathered our thoughts and respond.

Throughout this administration, our communities have experienced unimaginable heartbreak as we fight for freedom and basic human dignity. We have lost Gender and Sexuality Resource Centers across the country, lost resources for our students and LGBTQ+ centered professionals, and experienced an uptick in anti-LGBTQ+ violence and discrimination.

Through all of our adversity, we continue to rest and fight, and learn to grieve while still embracing, uplifting, and experiencing q***r and trans joy. These moments do not define us, and we keep finding ways to hold our truths and dream of beautiful trans and q***r futures

Members can read the full release through the email sent out today.

Inspired by our colleagues Kaity Prieto, Nick Daily, and Kristopher Oliveira's new book, Championing Q***r and Trans Inclusion Beyond the Campus Resource Center, we'll be joined by the authors for a conversation on sustaining this work, building coalitions, and carrying forward the legacies of QT resource centers amidst such a hostile climate.

It has been awhile since we last updated you about Consortium happenings!

In June we held our summer retreat to transition and onboard our new board members! Since then we have been busy! Here is sneak peak into some of our summer projects!

The Center Closures Project work continues as we are in progress of reviewing data. This is a huge project with a ton of information to sort through! We appreciate everyone who has and continues to provide us with information on what his happening to centers across the nation and how people have been or are still being impacted by legislation, institutional overcompliance, restructuring, etc.

We are in progress of updating our guiding documents. It started with updating the Bylaws and now all of our documents that guide us in our operations. We are working to ensure the documents ensure the current operations of the Consortium. This was a long overdue project and provides opportunity for us to truly review and evaluate our systems, structures, polciies, and operations.

Work is underway in creating the new guidance document for supporting Q***r and Trans Black, Indigenous, People of Color in higher education. We are working with an amazing group individuals providing their knowledge, expertise, and lived experiences to move this work forward. The last time "Supporting Trans and Q***r Students of Color" guidance was last released in 2016.

Lastly, we have entered our Strategic Planning era! We are in Phase 1 of the project which includes going through an organizational assessment of what we do, how we do it, SWOT analysis, and more. Or goal is to launch the 2027-2029 Strategic Plan in January. This is an important project for us as we layout out the future direction of the Consortium.

We hope everyone is having a great summer and taking some time for yourself before the fall semester starts!
