The Dean of Students Office has an opening for a Federal Work-Study position for the fall of 2006 working in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Center at UNC-CH. Students who receive Work-Study as a part of their financial aid award are eligible to apply.
The LGBTQ Center Work-Study position provides administrative, clerical and programming support.

Speakers Bureau Panelist
We are always looking for participants on our Speakers Bureau panels. The Speakers Bureau provides panels of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allied UNC students the opportunity to share their personal stories about being LGBTQ or an Ally on campus. Panelists respond to questions and comments from an audience, and are used in classrooms, trainings, and workshops.
