Gender and Sexuality Center-Research Opportunity

The GSC is supporting three student-led research initiatives this term.

We hope you will consider participating in the next few weeks and help us
spread the word.

Thank you.


1) The Gender & Sexuality Center Survey
Audience: UIC students and alumni who visit the GSC on a regular basis.
Deadline: April 4, 2011
Contact: Sasha (sbrown49@uic.edu)

This survey asks questions about how you use the GSC space, collects
demographic information to help us understand more about our core
constituents, and asks you to rate how our programs are working for you. 
Finally, the survey invites you to have a voice in shaping the future of
the GSC.

This survey is available through April 4th.  Just stop by the GSC during
our regular hours (M-Th 10-5; F 10-2) and ask for it.  You may also
contact Sasha directly at sbrown49@uic.edu.

2) Collecting Bisexual "Coming Out" Stories
Audience: UIC students, faculty, staff, and alumni
Deadline: April 11, 2011
Contact: Truc Mai (tnguye79@uic.edu) or Kyla (kdonov2@uic.edu)

We invite any UIC student, faculty and staff who identifies as bisexual
(bi) to share your stories through videotaped interviews, which will be on
Mondays in March, from 2-4:00 p.m. With your consent, we will display the
interviews to others in training programs, on the GSC website, and their
YouTube channel.

If you would like to take this opportunity to support a greater cause by
raising bi visibility and educate others on bi issues, please contact Truc
Mai (tnguye79@uic.edu) and Kyla (kdonov2@uic.edu) to schedule an interview
appointment.
