Description

This is a rescheduling of a session originally planned for February 13th

Queerios is a discussion-based group open to all that focuses on the experience of being both queer and religious or spiritual.  Each week will focus on a different topic!  We will start with a student facilitator-led activity, and leave plenty of room for discussion, dialogue, and community building.

Queerios welcomes participation of all kinds and disclosure of any identities is never required to join us.  This group is not focused on any particular queer identity or faith-based practice, and will feature topics that highlight a variety of identities and practices present in the UMBC student body.

Faith leaders! Important figures who provide guidance, mentorship and other needs as we grow and experience our spirituality. But what about our queer centered needs? Hear from some faith leaders who themselves belong to queer identities and can assure you feel comfortable as a spiritually affiliated queer person. 

We welcome allies and community members who want to learn how to better support our students.

Snacks will be provided!
