Tuesday, Oct. 11 marked National Coming Out Day, an annual celebration of individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community. To mark the occasion, Graduate Medical Sciences and the Community Catalyst Center<\/a> hosted a National Coming Out Day Celebration event in the C3 Suite.<\/p>\n

The two-hour event brought students from across GMS together to pick up a pride cupcake, a pin and resources on LGBTQIA+ resources on and off campus. Students could also meet peer mentors from g<\/em>PLUS<\/a>, a C3 affinity group which seeks to promote a deeper sense of belonging and celebrate the multiple identities among LGBTQIA+ students across the GMS programs.<\/p>\n

If you missed the event, here is a list of resources from the BU Queer Activist Collective (“Q”)<\/a> that includes information on Q’s Gender-Affirming Product Program (GAPP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also spoke with Jean-Pierre Roussarie, PhD, an assistant professor of anatomy & neurobiology and a mentor for both g<\/em>PLUS and g<\/em>GLOBAL<\/a> within C3. Dr. Roussarie discussed his research, his journey to Boston and how his intersecting identities have played a role in his perspective as a scientist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
