UP faculty, staff, and students (Bon Appetit employees included) will have access to food, toiletries, and other useful items at no cost during Stock UP on Wednesday, January 27, according to Yuri Hernández Osorio, diversity and inclusion. The items will be available from noon to 5 p.m. at the Social Work House at 4903 N.

We all have been hit by this global pandemic, some more than others.”
Donations of funds are helpful for buying items for future Stock UP events. Those interested in helping can donate money directly to diversity and inclusion programs with a note that you want your funds to go toward Stock Up. Please use this link and be sure you hit DIP fund and not OIEDI. For more information contact Hernández Osorio at hernandy@up.edu.

All who self-identify as part of this community are invited to join this informal group by contacting Ian Robins, residence life. Ian has been on staff here since 2017 and serves as the associate director for student care. Ian will collect names and emails from interested employees so a listserv can be created, and the group can begin to gather (virtually) to plan and organize events, to support one another, to provide trainings and resources, and to network. Overall, the purpose of this group is to create a supportive community for LGBTQIA+ folks here at UP. If you have concerns about privacy and how our group will work, please contact Ian so you can get your questions answered.
