Aging Successfully!
The Institute for LGBT Studies would like to thank the over 100 community members who attended our symposium Aging Successfully: Issues and Needs of LGBTQ+ Older Adults Ages 55+!

Special thanks go out to our community partners, Southern Arizona Senior Pride and Pima Council on Aging, as well as our event speakers and panelists--without whom this symposium could not be made possible!

BSU will also have a facilitated debrief during the regular BSU meeting time (6-7p) on the 5th, and will be diving deeper into how stigmas (racial profiling, policing stereotyping, anti-blackness, etc) are used as tools sto discriminate and inflict violence on Black people.
