LGBTQ+ Faculty/Staff Guides

The President’s Commission on Gender Identity/Expression and Sexual Orientation (GIESO) has created a new pilot program called GIESO Guides to help new LGBTQ+ faculty and staff as they on-board at any WSU location. As a GIESO Guide, you would serve as a point of contact, and a person to support/mentor new colleagues and offer personal insight to housing, childcare, community, healthcare, and other pertinent topics. Time requirements are expected to be minimal and may involve answering a few emails and/or meeting with new folks from time to time. We anticipate the period between spring and summer to be the busiest time of the year.

If you are interested, please complete the application linked here. If you have questions, please contact Matthew Jeffries, Chair of the Recruitment and Retention Subcommittee, at matthew.jeffries@wsu.edu.
