LGBT Student Services

LGBT Student Services is designed for students who are seeking LGBTQIA*-related services, support, and opportunities for personal growth, safety, and a sense of belonging. We put student needs at the center of our mission and provide resources to the UVU community seeking greater understanding of the LGBTQIA* community.

Transgender Day of Remembrance and Resilience

Wednesday, November 14, 2018

Transgender Day of Remembrance and Resilience is an annual observance that memorializes trans and gender nonconforming individuals who have lost their lives this past year due to anti-transgender violence, as well as honor the resiliency and power of our living trans family. This violence is directed overwhelmingly towards Black, Latina, and Indigenous women and femmes. We need to recreate our world, not only for survival, but to prosper. Please join the local transgender community - and those who are in solidarity with us - in imagining love-filled, abundant, and thriving trans futures.
