I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Advisors Academy boot-camp hosted by Campus Pride at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. It was six days of an intense camp learning how to be a professional that affects positive change on my campus as it relates to the LGBT community. I had such a great time meeting colleagues from all over the country and some national figures advancing and educating within the community.
Although the learning that took place has charged me to make some improvements and changes to my campus, I really enjoyed the "camp" experience. Never having gone to an over night summer camp as a child, this was my first time having that experience. To be honest I was really nervous for several reasons: Am I going to be the only person of color? Am I going to be the only straight person? Am I going to feel like an outsider altogether? No, no and no!
