Coming Out: The Power of Being Seen and Heard

Join us for a special program recognizing World Mental Health Day and National Coming Out Day.

Professor Joe Chianakas will share his personal story in Coming Out: The Power of Being Seen and Heard, a keynote-style presentation exploring LGBTQ+ identity, authenticity, and mental health.

This event fosters open dialogue, reduces stigma, and connects participants to campus counseling resources, including optional depression screenings offered during the week. Celebrate diverse voices, embrace community, and discover the power of being visible and supported.
