PrIdaho 2007 celebrates diversity and tolerance

Jake — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 01:06:15 +0000

PrIdaho has been held since 2001 when people from all around the region celebrated diversity in Pocatello, Idaho. This year there were stand-up comedians, singers, game shows, drag performances, and vendors from the region. Also, PFLAG and Project Filter, an Idaho anti-tobacco campaign set up booths at the park.

I traveled to the Pride Celebration with Charlie for his survey on LGBT youth. He was collecting data for his master’s thesis at Washington State University which focuses on the use of mental health services for LGBT individuals, ages 18 to 25. The survey, which takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, has been passed by the WSU Internal Review Board. Participants will be paid $5 after completing the survey, so if you are interested please contact Charlie Anderson in the Department of Human Development (see below.)

Feed Your Passion: FACE to talk to students about leadership

Jake — Sat, 14 Oct 2006 16:28:56 +0000

Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and the University of Idaho will be hosting the FCCLA Leadership Camp on campus this weekend. FACE was invited to speak about leadership to middle and high school students in the local, regional, and state FCCLA chapters. The event is sponsored by the Margaret Ritchie School of Family and Consumer Sciences and will provide the students with tools to use their voices and transform the lives of people around them.

FACE developed a “Feed Your Passion” campaign and will talk about the organization in Moscow, leadership involved in FACE, combining passion with leadership, and what to do if you’re unable to help. Fun-sized candy bars will have “Feed Your Passion” messages like “Are you a gym fanatic? Support an awareness run or marathon” to show students that they can take any passion and turn it into a positive form of leadership. If you have questions about the event, email info@faceviolence.org or visit http://www.agls.uidaho.edu/fcsed

The University of Idaho and Moscow community celebrate nonviolence this month with events like The Clothesline Project, which honors domestic violence victims and will be on display in the Idaho Commons.

Talk About It: National Coming Out Day, October 11

Jake — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 07:41:15 +0000

National Coming Out Day celebrates diversity and includes GLBT Allies, Talk About It at Noon: “Why I am a GLBT Ally,” “The Whiptail Lizard Lesbians,” “Kinkyboots,” and “Bachelor Farm.” Coming out doesn’t have to be about sexuality. Come out about your job, your spiritual beliefs, your love for someone, your friendships, or anything that feels personal and you. Coming out is about acceptance and tolerance. Feel good about coming out. For more information, visit the UI Women’s Center.
