Upcoming Events
The first UB Pride Parade marches down the North Campus Academic Spine on April 24, 2019.
Each semester, the LGBTQ FSA hosts events that include social meet ups, Lunch and Learn educational and professional development opportunities, and a general membership meeting.
A schedule of events hosted or supported by the Association are shared online, discussed at meetings, and advertised via the FSA listserv.
While FSA events are planned with a faculty and staff audience in mind, most events are open and welcome to all members of the UB community.

UB Pride Week is quickly approaching (April 13-17), and to get everyone warmed up, the LGBTQ FSA and the LGBTQ+ Center are partnering to do a Faculty/Staff and Student meet and greet as their monthly Queeriosity event!
When: April 2nd, 4-6pm
Where: SU 210
We will bring the students, snacks, and swag, but to make this work, we need YOU.
The Assistant Direct of the LGBTQ+ Center, Gi Swords, has shared with us that students will feel the most empowered to chat with us if they know something about us first. To make this happen, we are asking some FSA members who will be attending to make a one-slide introduction to themselves that they will present at the beginning of the mixer. This can include whatever information you want – I have included my name, role, years at UB, what I studied, some professional interests, and some personal interests. I have included in this email an example I made in powerpoint, you can use canva or your design software of choice, as long as it will fit into a slide show. This does not need to be branded or fancy or even particularly skillful (notice how I did not share anywhere that my passion is graphic design, nor did I indicate that with my slide design). This is just a tool to give students some insight into who we are and to break the ice.
Students ask Gi all the time: “where are the queer faculty and staff on campus?” This is our chance to show them!
Please join us regardless of whether or not you are interested in making a slide. You can RSVP for the event here and indicate whether or not you will be making a slide. If you do opt to make one, please send it to lgbtqfsa@buffalo.edu by March 27th.
