Michigan SOGI Education Conference
 
 

The Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity (SOGI) Initiative sponsored by Oakland
University’s School of Education and Human Services is pleased to announce the
development of Michigan’s first statewide conference on LGBTQI issues in education.

Friday, February 3, 2012
On-site Registration Opens at 8:00am
Oakland Center Banquet Rooms
Oakland University
Rochester, MI



We have three important goals for this event:
  • Promote preK‐12/university dialogue about important issues involving sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.
  • Provide preK‐12 teachers and administrators with opportunities to inform and influence how schools/colleges of education are preparing pre‐service teachers and administrators to effectively address these areas of difference.
  • Identify ways that Oakland University and other schools/colleges of education can assist preK‐12 educators to address these issues.
