The EIDA Committee warmly invites you to our LGBTQ+ Affinity Group Meeting, part of our ongoing Affinity Meeting Series. The purpose of this group is to create a safe and welcoming space for students and staff who identify as LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transgender, Transexual, or Trans, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Pansexual, Two Spirit, Intersex). We deeply appreciate the care of our allies, and we ask that only those who identify as the above attend these meetings in order to preserve the safety of the space within the larger Sofia Community.

What are Affinity Meetings?
These gatherings provide a dedicated space for individuals with shared lived experiences to connect openly, exchange perspectives and resources, and build supportive networks.

This space is for you if you identify as:

•  LGBTQ+
  
  

In times of intense change and challenge, finding strength in our shared identities is vital. This virtual meeting offers a supportive environment to:

• Discuss experiences and perspectives.
• Offer and receive mutual support.
• Build meaningful community connections.
  
  

Whether you seek solidarity with others who share similar journeys or wish to contribute to the essential dialogue around inclusivity, your presence is invaluable. Come as you are and be welcome!
