Tell us a story!

We’re members of the President’s Commission on Gender Identity/Expression and Sexual Orientation and we want to tell the stories of WSU’s LGBTQIA and intersectional folks and their allies. Are you a researcher working on intersectional issues? Are you a student who wants to share their coming-out story? Do you have an upcoming event, lecture, or exhibit relevant to the community?

We welcome story ideas and pitches from all corners of the WSU community: faculty, staff, and students, both undergraduate and graduate.

Let us know–we’ll team you up with a professional writer who can help you craft a story for WSU Insider, the WSU Pullman or other campus homepage, or Washington State Magazine.

Contact Maxine Durand for more information.

The Notices and Announcements section is provided as a service to the WSU community for sharing events such as lectures, trainings, and other highly transactional types of information related to the university experience.
