As part of OUTober, the University of Chicago celebration of LGBTQ History Month, OMSA and the LGBTQ Programming Office will be hosting the Crossroad Program: How to be an Ally, a short panel and candid group discussion on what it means to be an ally and how students can be allies to different communities on and off-campus. The panel will focus primarily on allyships between queer people of color, white folks, and straight folks.
