Colleagues,

 

Registration for SPECTRUM closes on June 12^th 

We are excited that we will be joined in Albany, NY by over 400 colleagues from 23 states and territories (as far as Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada) for the nation’s largest education conference devoted to preventing and responding to sexual and interpersonal violence against members of the LGBTQI+ community.  While the deadline for registration is quickly approaching, there is still room for those not yet registered who wish to make a difference in reducing the impact of violence against our LGBTQI+ students and community members. Join hundreds of colleagues in raising capacity to support our students. Visit  suny.edu/events/spectrum before June 12^th to register for the SPECTRUM Conference.

 

Commemorate the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision with Jim Obergefell, learn about the national outlook for litigation and legislation with the Human Rights Campaign’s lead attorney Sarah Warbelow, dive into cutting-edge research with Dr. Genny Beemyn, and hear moving addresses from Jane Clementi, mother of Tyler Clementi and Antuan Raimone, currently on Broadway in Hamilton. This is in addition to college presidents, heads of government agencies, and speakers from across the country (see attached agenda for details). All for a deeply reduced registration cost.

 

SPECTRUM will feature more than 40 exciting concurrent speakers, and renowned keynote speakers including (alphabetical):

 

Dr. Genny Beemyn, Director The Stonewall Center	Jane Clementi, Founder, The Tyler Clementi Foundation	Jim Obergefell, lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015).	Antuan Raimone, Hamilton The Musical, TEDx Speaker	Sarah Warbelow, Legal Director, Human Rights Campaign

 

 

SPECTRUM (June 19-20) features 36 concurrent sessions, which will dive deeply into topics ranging the spectrum from early prevention to tailored response in addition to pre- and post-conference opportunities (June 18 & 21).  Content experts from a wide variety of disciplines will provide practical and implementable education and training that is specifically tailored to the range of professionals who play an integral role in reducing incidents of violence against our LGBTQI+ students and community members.  Sessions focus on content areas specific to several roles including:

·         Athletics ·         Compliance ·         Counseling and Advocacy ·         Disability Services ·         Faculty ·         Law Enforcement

·         Legal Services ·         Prevention/Health Educators ·         Residence Life ·         Student Affairs ·         Student Conduct ·         Title IX

 

& more.  We are hopeful that you and your colleagues across many disciplines will join for this important conference.
