Season greetings from the Office of LGBTQA Affairs! We have had such a great semester and feel so welcomed as one of the newest offices to Wright State University family!
We hope many of you can make it to our end of semester 1st annual Office of LGBTQA Affairs Chosen Family Feast! It will be a great time full of community building, good food, and celebrating the LGBTQ & Ally organizations, students, staff, and faculty who are the reason the Office of LGBTQA Affairs exists today! In addition we hope to see you again at our LAUNCH: The Office of LGBTQA Affairs event to kick-off the spring 2016 semester. It will be a great event to learn about what we have been working on over these past few months as a new office and what plans we have ahead! We hope everyone has safe travels over the winter break and remember you have a chosen family here at Wright State's Office of LGBTQA Affairs.
