Welcome to Queer Lynx, the blog devoted to LGBT life at Rhodes College. My name is Sarah Bacot. This summer, I'm working as the LGBT Community Development Fellow, which basically means that I'm doing a series of queer things on campus.
Here's a sample:
-Reorganizing the LGBT Resource Room in the basement of Briggs
-Making LGBT handouts for students at the Open Rhodes Information Fair
-Creating a calendar of LGBT events at Rhodes and in the community
-Researching cool queer academic events that Rhodes could put together/host
-Making and maintaining this blog
There will be weekly posts about progress, with a specific focus on one project each week, and links to other resources and relevant projects. There will also be interviews with queer students and hopefully some queer faculty and staff as well. Please feel free to comment or email me with questions or with ideas for things you'd like to see on the blog.
Project of the week:
This week, it's getting ready for Open Rhodes (and also making the blog, which is fun. The background is supposed to be rainbow lynx paw prints.). I'm putting together a brochure and poster with information about organizations and resources on campus. A similar list will be available as a document here soon. Here's a preview:
The goal is to give interested incoming students and parents a brief overview and sites for more information. Also, we'll give them candy and fun rainbow buttons. The table will be set up at the Information Fair with lots of other groups, including Mock Trial and the Barret Library. We'll have a table at all four sessions. The first one begins this Monday, June 18th.
