Center for Faculty Excellence, 316 Gannett Center

Ever heard of a ZAP panel, or hosted one in your class? Wish there was an opportunity just for faculty and staff to hear LGBTQ students speak from their experience and answer questions, to further understanding and dialogue? On our campus these panels are called ZAP panels - and the ZAP program is coming to the Center for Faculty Excellence! Usually these LGBTQ and allied "talking panels" are invited into classrooms and residence halls, to expand upon their discussion of LGBTQ diversity themes-- they always turn out to be enriching experiences for both for panelists and the audience.This session, though, is just for staff and faculty to attend, to provide a safe space for you to ask questions, engage with, and exchange ideas with student panelists. The goal of a ZAP panel is to educate and demonstrate the diversity of experiences of LGBTQ 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.
