Trans+ Day of Visibility
Sunday, March 31, 2024 marks the 15th annual International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). The day aims to celebrate the resilience and success of transgender people and raise awareness of trans+ rights. TDOV was originally founded in 2009 by activist Rachel Crandall, who was inspired by the fact that there was no holiday in existence dedicated to honoring the achievements and contributions of transgender people. At the time, the only major transgender-centered commemoration was the Trans+ Day of Remembrance, which mourns the victims of hate crimes and violence.
Thanks to everyone who joined us on March 31st, 2023 for our Trans+ Day of Visibility event! it was amazing to see our campus's support of trans+ students with over 125 people in attendance.

This year's event will be on March 27, 2024 at noon in the lower level of Gallagher with guest speaker, Jessica Dimon. We look forward to seeing you there!
