Monthly Programs
Food for Thought
Food for Thought is a monthly discussion group where students voice their opinions and learn about topics of interest over lunch provided by the center. Representatives from a BSU department or student group are frequently invited to discuss a GLBTA topic that intersects with their discipline or area of interest. This is a great way to get to know people on campus that you might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet and to learn more about BSU resources for GLBTA students.

12:20 - 1:10 pm

Food for Thought
Topic: Intersections between vampirism and GLBT issues.
In this session, Dr. Leora Lev will facilitate a discussion of vampirism and GLBT issues. How are they similarly portrayed?
