Spectrum Center and the Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs Office (MESA) are proud to continue an initiative centering Queer and Transgender Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (QTBIPOC) into the summer. The Togetherness series of events is meant to build belonging for students identifying within the QTBIPOC community and to connect you with UM staff, faculty, and community members who also identify in the community.

Unlike our Togetherness Dinners, we will not be able to provide free food to participants. We invite everyone to bring their lunch to the call and eat together while your host, Elizabeth Gonzáles, brings everyone together in conversation. Liz serves as the Education & Training Program Manager at the Spectrum Center. Her responsibilities include facilitating Allyhood Development Trainings and consulting with campus partners about inclusive practices. Liz is a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Social Work where she studied Interpersonal Practice and Mental Health. Liz earned a Bachelor’s of Arts with a focus on Sociology and Government and a Bachelor's of Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin.
