QLaw 2011-2012 Book Scholarship
Posted in Uncategorized on March 14th, 2011 by jason-foster – Comments OffAnnouncing QLaw’s 2011-2012 Book Scholarship!
The QLaw Book Scholarship is a $500 award designed to support a rising 2L or 3L that has significantly contributed to the LGBTQ community, both within the Law School and the greater community. This support comes by helping offset the cost of books during the 2011-2012 academic year.
The scholarship is available to any current 1L or 2L who is in good academic standing and who otherwise receives financial aid. The award is based on a scholarship application essay of 750 words or fewer. (The word limit will be strictly enforced.) Applicants will be asked to describe their contributions to the LGBTQ community and why they deserve the award.
To apply for the scholarship, students must complete the form available here. (Please also see our website page with this information.) The online form will be available until April 6. Once the applications are complete, one QLaw Co-Chair will assign each applicant a random number and file the names and numbers with the other QLaw Co-Chair. The completed applications will then be turned over to the Director of Student Life, Mike Hall, with the applicants’ respective random numbers substituted for their names. Mr. Hall will then evaluate the essays and select a winner. The QLaw Co-Chairs will certify the winner, whose name will be announced at QLaw’s Gala 2011 on April 16.
Please feel free to email q...@qlaw.org with any questions. Good luck!

Stop the Silence – CALL TO ACTION
Posted in Uncategorized on November 8th, 2010 by jason-foster – Comments OffThe LGBT Campus Center and UW Housing are creating a Make it Better video to show the impact of bullying, harassment and homophobia on the LGBTQ community and how to work toward “Making it Better.”
WE NEED YOUR HELP! It is time for ACTION!
Here’s the plan:
A) Meet at the top of Bascom Hill at NOON on Wednesday, November 10th. (Rain location – Memorial Union Theater.)
B) Get filmed while representing statistics that show how LGBTQ people are affected by bullying and homophobia (example: more than half of all LGBT identified people hide their sexual orientation or gender identity to avoid intimidation—half the students walk out of the shot).
C) Disperse with a sense of accomplishment.
The more people the more the impact. (We are hoping for hundreds.) PLEASE come!
This will not take long (15-20 min.). Show up, join the crowd and be filmed.
For Students: Please tell all of your friends to join this (even if you can’t).
For Staff: Please ask colleagues in your department to join this (even if you can’t).
For Faculty: Please encourage your students to attend this (even more so if you have a class ending at 11:50 a.m.).
For Faculty Chairs: Please send this to faculty in your department.
For Community Members: Please tell others in your organization or people you know to join in.
Help us Stop the Silence and take a stand against homophobia.
