The entire campus community is invited to participate in the conference, a series of educational and inspiring events, talks, panels, networking events and workshops dedicated to Belonging@UMass, which kicks off the 2023 academic year.

The think tank, which was open only to invited leaders in the field, helped create recommendations for LGBTQ+ inclusion in STEM fields that will be turned into a report to share with federal agencies, professional societies, colleges and universities and other groups.

The readings, which begin at 6:30 p.m. each evening June 12-15 at the Old Chapel, will be followed by Q&A sessions.
