  • Location: Everglades Hall Lounge, 1590 SW 111th Ave Miami, FL 33174
  • The event is free of charge and open to all members and guests of the FIU community!
  • Join us for a panel discussion with parents of LGBTQIA+ young people who will share lessons learned in providing support to their children in college and beyond. Guided by questions from an FIU Pride Center moderator, parents will share their child’s coming out process as well as their own process in supporting their child. Parents' stories may include discussions about young queer and trans children (elementary age) through adult children (post-college) with an emphasis on college-age students and how parents prepared or will prepare their child for college. Vulnerability and authentic stories will give the audience of students, parents, siblings, extended families, chosen families, and others the perspective they need to feel affirmed in their own process, as well as more certain about best practices in supporting LGBTQIA+ young people and adults moving forward.

Statement of Free Expression

FIU endorses the Florida Board of Governors' Statement of Free Expression to support and encourage full and open discourse and the robust exchange of ideas and perspectives on our campuses. In addition to supporting this legal right, we view this as an integral part of our ability to deliver a high-quality academic experience for our students, engage in meaningful and productive research, and provide valuable public service. This includes fostering civil and open dialogue in support of critical thinking in and out of the classroom, including events hosted by the university.
