This year, Dickinson will be hosting the Gay-Straight Alliance Summit for Central PA.  On Friday, February 24th, from 8:30-4 pm, the Summit conference will be taking place on campus.  Consider signing up, whether you are a member of Dickinson's Spectrum group or not: you can learn how to handle protesters of social justice action programs, promote sexual health, conduct a successful lobbying effort for legislative changes, and much, much more.  See the attached flyer for information about how to register, as well as a complete list of sessions for the day.  Peterson Toscano, a theater-performance activist, will be delivering the keynote address to kick off the day's events.  Don't miss it!
