Welcome to Winter Quarter from BLISS! We are back at it, and we’re excited to share a few upcoming events with you. If you are a staff or faculty and know any students who might be interested in any of these events, please pass it along!

Any questions can be sent to bliss@evergreen.edu.

Wednesday January 15: In Transition 

Gather with other students exploring their gender for discussion, crafts, and camaraderie. The next meeting of this new group called In Transition will provide a forum for trans, gender-diverse, gender-exploring and questioning students to build connections and explore thoughts and feelings on gender both verbally and through creative outlets. Feel free to bring a project, take part in provided crafts, or just come to meet new folks. This meeting is low-stakes and welcoming.
