What's Brewing


What's Brewing is the Grad Student discussion series run out of Packer House every month where we discuss big ideas over anything brewable...beer, wine, tea, etc. 

In the past we have discussed massive ideas such as:  The FBI vs. Apple, how to solve global warming, and how to travel between universes in our multiverse!!!!

Your GSS reps have left signup sheets around your departments for you to fill out so we can know what YOU want to discuss. Fill them out ASAP so your rep can take them back to the GSS meeting this Wednesday! 

Then, we will set up our gatherings around what you think should be stewed and brewed over!

Our first meeting will be next week, Thursday, September 29th, at 7pm at Packer House! 

We like to believe that at the end of every gathering we solve all of the world's problems....or create more...

Learn, Engage, Act. New Training Program


We are excited to introduce you to LUally, Lehigh's new training program developed by the Pride Center for Sexual Orientation & Gender Diversity that aims to develop a network of aware, engaged, and active allies for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff.  


See below for more information about the program, as well as our second open session in October - space is limited!



LUally delivers skills-based, educational opportunities for the Lehigh community, while centering the philosophy that allyship is a continuous process that looks different for everyone.  Participants have the ability to personalize their learning to meet their own goals as an ally and track their engagement with the Pride Center & LUally-affiliated opportunities. 

A critical feature of LUally is that it honors space for ongoing growth and development - allyship is not a one-time experience or training.  To recognize this, anyone who attends an LUally-affiliated opportunity is eligible to receive the official LUally card and to begin adding badges to their card.  Badges are obtained through additional opportunities advertised under the Learn, Engage, and Act headings on the LUally course site - found at go.lehigh.edu/LUally.  More badges signal to LGBTQ+ Lehigh community members that your allyship is active.  Allies are encouraged to attend whatever is most helpful or challenging for their journey! 

LUally training opportunities can be requested by any office or group on campus by visiting this form.  Additionally, open sessions will be held throughout the year.  The second open session is coming up next month on Monday, 10/24, from 4pm-5pm, and will focus on Transgender 101 content.  If you or someone you know is interested in this session, sign up here!
