 What is a ZAP! ?

 A ZAP! is an educational panel discussion that centers around individuals representing a range of sexual and gender identities and expressions - including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and straight.



Each panelist shares a personal story as an introduction. Then people in the audience are invited to ask questions and start a dialogue with the panel members.The goal of a ZAP! panel is to educate and show the diversity of experiences of LGBT and allied individuals. Putting names, faces, and stories to the labels used in everyday life adds a layer of human understanding and leads to increased tolerance, acceptance, and respect for the IC campus community and beyond.
