Event Details

Moderator: Shane Windmeyer, Campus Pride

Guest Presenter: Robyn Ochs, Editor, National Speaker & Activist

 A recent Williams Institute study has shown that slightly more people self-identify as bisexual than as lesbian or gay. Yet on most campuses there are few visible out bisexual individuals, and little programming is targeted toward this population. This webinar will identify the population in question,  explore reasons for bisexual invisibility, and provide ideas for passive and active programming to help campuses better serve this population.

Participants will:

  • Identify the population being underserved
  • Explore challenges to recognizing and serving this population
  • Be given (and brainstorm) suggestions for passive and active programming and education
