Spectrum: LGBTQ and Allies will host a ceremony for Trans Day of Remembrance at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20 at the Grace Memorial Chapel with a reception following the ceremony in 208 Rhatigan Student Center, the Student Engagement & Belonging office.

Are you a graduating senior? Are you a part of the LGBTQIA+ community? Are you a supportive ally? If yes, you are invited to participate in the Lavender Graduation Ceremony from the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI).

ODI invites you to its Lavender Graduation that honors graduating LGBTQIA+ students as well as members of the Wichita State community for their work toward inclusive excellence of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The office of Student Conduct and Community Standards is looking for students to join its Academic Integrity and Student Conduct hearing boards. The board provides students with an opportunity to gain community service hours and have a lasting impact on their college campus.

Serving on the Academic Integrity Committee or Student Conduct Board allows students an opportunity to meet and work with some of the faculty and staff at WSU while broadening their network.
