LGBTQ and college-bound? You won't want to miss this!

 

On March 19, GLSEN and Campus Pride are hosting the first-ever online college fair for LGBTQ students. Part of our programming includes a live Twitter Q&A to answer the questions, concerns, and comments of prospective college students.

The Twitter event will happen in three parts on March 19 starting at 2pm. Each segment will focus on a different element of college life and will last for an hour, with a 30-minute break in between. The topics are:

 

1. Finding an LGBTQ-Friendly Campus: What Makes a Campus LGBTQ-Friendly?

What makes a college LGBTQ-friendly? What questions should you be asking admissions reps on college visits? Campus Pride reps assist you in answering these questions and identifying the best way to pick a campus to fit your needs. Join this Twitter chat from 2:00pm-3:00pm.

 

2. How Do I Pay for College?: Scholarships, Financial Assistance & Resources 

Finding a school is hard enough - we help make finding funding even easier. The Point Foundation joins us for this Twitter chat from 3:30pm-4:30pm.

 

 

3. College Prep: Tips & Advice for Going to College & First Year on Campus

Ask current college students anything about transitioning from high school to college, what campus life is like and all you’ve ever wanted to know about going to college. Join this Twitter chat from 5:00pm-6:00pm.

 

The questions will be tweeted using the hashtag #LGBTQcollege411. During each Q&A, follow @CampusPride and @GLSEN, and during the financial aid chat, follow @PointFoundation to keep up with the questions and stay connected to the discussion.
