News 24 JulyA message from Executive Dean of Health Sciences Professor Suzanne Chambers: Winter has so far been a season of future-thinking and action for the Faculty of Health Sciences.
This Friday 26 August is Wear it Purple Day, which is an opportunity to support and affirm LGBTIQ+ young people by raising awareness about the challenges they face.
This year’s theme is ‘Still me, Still Human’, which aims to support LGBTIQ+ young people by calling on our community to create a positive social culture that puts aside divisive labels and practises greater empathy when talking about human lives.
Staff and students are invited to attend the following Wear it Purple Day events and stalls:
Brisbane Campus Library: a morning tea with purple-themed treats on Thursday 25 August from 10.30am–12pm in the library foyer, with a LGBTIQ+ themed book display, some Wear it Purple freebies and information for staff and students about the day.
The library will be accepting donations, which will be returned to the not-for-profit Wear it Purple to help them support LGBTIQ+ young people.
Melbourne Campus Library: a book display of LGBTIQ+ titles running the whole week, commencing 22 August, in addition to another display celebrating the coinciding Children’s Book Week (which will also include children’s books that reflect diverse content), as well as merchandise and information about Wear it Purple Day.
