>>   understanding our lived experiences. We encourage
>>   short videos that illuminate or interrogate your own
>>   communit(ies) or imagine entirely new ones.Please

>>   students to meet and socialize with other graduate
>>   students in nonacademic settings.  In addition to
>>   the various quarterly and monthly social events, we
>>   are dedicated to increasing our visibility on campus
>>   through our participation in speaker series as well
>>   as other academic and professional presentations and
>>   through our partnerships with a number of on-campus
>>   organizations, including the Rainbow Alliance (NU's
>>   Undergraduate LGBT organization), the LGBT Resource
>>   Center, and the Gender Studies Department.
