Join the LGBTQ+ Center at WVU for an introductory lesson on the basics of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. This training will touch on current terminology, common experiences for the LGBTQ+ community in higher education, and how to be an effective ally!

Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression (SOGIE) are key elements of one’s identity that impact their experience in higher education. Our new SOGIE 101 Training is an educational opportunity to enhance cultural competence, understand student experiences, and learn about campus resources.

This 1-hour interactive training offers participants the opportunity to reflect about the beautiful complexities pertaining to SOGIE while engaging in activities focused on finding solutions.

Participants will gain insights that apply to our Mountaineer core values and mission. These include tools to improve services, expand curiosity, extend respect, incorporate accountability, and appreciate diverse contributions. By advancing this cultural competence, participants will be better equipped to advance education, health, and prosperity for all.

We encourage all staff, faculty, and students to take advantage of this opportunity. Sessions are offered online, in-person, and per request to groups and classrooms at lgbtq@mail.wvu.edu. Certificate of completion provided upon request.
