March Out for Lunch with Ashley Newman

Out for Lunch is an informal conversation series with staff and faculty members and allows students to meet LGBTQIA+ faculty, staff, and administrators in a casual space. The purpose of the series is to provide an opportunity for students to hear from faculty, staff, and administrators in the LGBTQ+ community about their life experiences, careers, successes, and challenges in an intimate setting. All university community members are welcome to attend the Out for Lunch series. Join us this month for a conversation with Ashley Newman, Assistant Director of Residential Life and Housing for Assessment and Student Success.

Come join Assistant Director Ashley Newman as she speaks to her experiences coming out later in life and how that affected how she navigates the spaces she is in today. We can discuss how all members of the LGBTQIA+ communities’ journey is different and that it can shape the way we show up for our friends, peers, and allies. In addition, she is going to be talking about Brave Spaces and how by ensuring the communities, clubs, organizations, and physical spaces you influence are brave, you can support your peers in navigating their own journeys. Lunch and a treat will be provided!
