Hello everybody,

Are you invested in social justice? Would you like to become more involved with LGBTQ+ communities and activism? Are you interested in helping to organize a completely student-run conference?

Join us in the Rainbow Room in Robo Thursday at 7:00 PM for our second planning meeting for IvyQ 2014. We will be determining if Dartmouth will submit a bid for the 2014F conference, which depends on having enough interest, so please blitz in if you are not able to make it but are interested in playing a part.


~Your IvyQ Planning Team


IvyQ is a conference which aims to create a pan-Ivy community of LGBTQ students and allies equipped with the skills to examine their identities, value those of others, and understand intersectionality. The steps to achieving this vision are three-fold: creating experiences which foster meaningful and productive social networks; educating students about the history and multiplicity of voices in the LGBTQ movement and the possible trajectories of its future; and empowering all students to feel confident in their identities and their potential to instill positive change in their own lives and the communities they inhabit. IvyQ stresses the acknowledgment and application of privilege for positive and lasting social change for LGBTQ communities.

In Spring 2010, the first IvyQ conference was hosted at the University of Pennsylvania. The conference lasted three days, attracting queer students and allies from all eight Ivy League schools. The conference has grown in size and scale each year since, attracting over 400 students at Columbia University in 2011 and almost 500 at Brown University in 2012 and Yale University in 2013.

Princeton will be hosting the IvyQ conference in Winter 2014, and Dartmouth hopes to submit a bid for the first Fall IvyQ Conference in Fall 2014. But we need you to come step up and take a reign. Many hands make light work. All years, identities, individuals, and communities welcome.


*Tickets for the IvyQ conference this winter will be released soon! Come to the meeting to learn about what's in the works!
