Spectrum had the great opportunity of participating in the First Annual Northern Colorado Diversity Conference hosted by Fort Collins High School. This event was open to high school students and community members. The conference was aimed towards raising cultural awareness and acceptance through workshops and a resource fair. Spectrum members assisted with logistics and information distribution at the conference. 

 

Spectrum is a new veterinary club established for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allied veterinary students and faculty. Our mission is to promote awareness and acceptance of the LGBT populations within the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and within the community. 

 

We are very grateful for the funds provided by the ICDC Cultural Diversity and Awareness Grant. Currently we are unfunded, the grant provided will help us build our foundation to meet the mission of the club. We will be making button’s and safe zone stickers to raise awareness and provide support. We will also use the funds to reserve spaces to participate in community events such as the Fast and the Furriest 5k and local farmer’s markets. Spectrum also plans on participating in a more substantial role at next years Northern Colorado Diversity Conference.
