'Change U' registration deadline nears

Registration for “Change U,” a free social justice program at Grand Valley, is open until November 16. Faculty, staff members, students and the West Michigan community are invited to participate in the program, which is organized by Grand Valley’s LGBT Resource Center.

“Change U 1.0” will begin in January and continue through April. Participants will attend an introductory session followed by eight evening sessions every Thursday on the Allendale Campus. Download the application and learn more about the training schedule online at www.gvsu.edu/socialjustice.

The program will provide the opportunity to learn skills and strategies participants can use to pursue their passions. It is supported by a grant from the Arcus Foundation Gay and Lesbian Fund and is co-sponsored by the Grand Valley Division of Inclusion and Equity.

Students who completed the training series last year can participate in “Change U 2.0,” an advanced level of the program.
