In today’s landscape, LGBTQIA+ centers and in turn, their staff, are sites of political turmoil as they continue to navigate the complexity of institutional pressures, transphobia, systemic violence, and uncertainty about their future. This years’ Center Awareness Day Walking on Eggshells: The Realities of LGBTQIA+ Centers in the Current Climate highlights and honors the dissonance between the realities current staff and students face throughout this time. This panel discussion, framed through trauma-informed and queer theoretical lenses, explores the emotional and political labor of queer and trans resource professionals, the supervision and support (or lackthereof), and the uneven institutional responses that leave many walking on eggshells. Join us as we name the challenges, honor community resistance, and co-imagine centers, and futures, that love us back. LGBTQIA+ Centers are life-saving resources on campus, and we hope you can join us for this conversation!
