Titans UNITE!
UNITED Training for Students, Staff, and Faculty
UNITED+ Trainings 
Allyship does not end with one training. For folks who have completed our Best Practices course and want to remain true allies by continuing their education about the LGBTQIA+ community, we offer supplementary trainings that delve deeper into queer and trans culture. Additionally, we encourage students, staff, and faculty to attend presentations and professional development provided by other departments across campus that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.
UNITED + Trainings
Spilling the TEA on LGBTQIA+ History
Tuesday, February 21 | 2:00-3:30 p.m. | Reeve Union 212 (Oshkosh Campus)
This UNITED+ workshop will focus on historical events and moments of celebration in the LGBTQIA+ community. A focus will be on the events of the Stonewall Riots, the epidemic of AIDS, Ballroom culture, and how to use history as an advocacy tool.
Foundations 201: LGBTQIA+ Terminology Basics
Tuesday, February 28 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. | Teams

Workshop Wednesday: Creating Your Chosen Community
Wednesday, March 8 | 11:30-12:30 p.m. | Reeve Union 212 (Oshkosh Campus)
| Workshop Wednesday Presents Creating Your Chosen Community, hosted by Carmen Hetzel, M.S. Ed. & Maddie Wiles, M.A. What is the definition of family? Creating community is a skill that is not often taught but vital to learn. Building chosen family is an important part of living well and continuing your growth journey.

Students who pre-register receive a FREE box lunch at the workshop session. Students who are not able to pre-register are welcome to attend with their own lunch.

The Cisgender Gaze & Heteronormativity in Movies
Thursday, April 20 | 11:30-1:00 p.m. | Reeve Union 220 (Oshkosh Campus)
Remember when Will & Grace was THE gay and lesbian show? What about when Degrassi had their first transgender character? Good Luck Charlie with their first same-sex couple? This workshop will have the participants dive into their biases and examine media that continues to influence anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and body dysphoria for so many communities.
