(4) Pride Month Opportunity Drawing (Institute Wide)
From JP Bonadonna, Student Government Association
Happy Pride Month from KinsIHP and the SGA! While Pride Month is a time to celebrate, it is also a time for reflection. The queer liberation movement was sparked in part by the Stonewall Uprising in 1969, as LGBTQIA+ folx rioted in protest of discriminatory policies and actions against their communities. Today, we see Black communities across the country protesting both the recent murders of community members, as well as centuries of systemic racism and violence. This Pride Month, we are raising funds for the
Center for Black Equity – a non-profit organization whose vision is to "build a global network of LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, community-based organizations and Prides dedicated to achieving equality and social justice for Black LGBTQ+ communities through Economic Equity, Health Equity, and Social Equity." Donate for the chance to win an Amazon gift card ($10, $25, $50). The drawing will be held on Friday, June 26. Every donation of $1 will result in one entry into the drawing (e.g., $10 = 10 entries!). Donations can be made via Venmo to @jpbonadonna with the message "IHP Pride Month." We hope you consider donating and supporting our Black LGBTQIA+ siblings this month!

(6) Travel Guidance (Institute Wide)
From Paul Murphy, Office of Strategic Communications
As the summer travel season approaches and more normal work operations resume, we have begun to receive questions regarding both personal and business travel. We want to remind you that the travel advisory put in place in March is still in effect:
- All business-related travel, domestic or international, is prohibited until 2021.
- Personal travel is permitted but continues to be discouraged unless necessary. It’s also recommended that you follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s travel guidance.
