All, The Diversity Committee through TMS is hosting this really exciting LGBTQ+ and allies student and faculty mixer on Sunday October 14 from 8-11pm at the MS&T conference<http://www.matscitech.org/> in Columbus, OH. I know first-hand that traveling around the US is quite complex and stressful for LGBTQ+ individuals with and without spouses. Come join us at one of Columbus' gay bars - bring your spouses, partners, friends, and colleagues to this space. Know that this is a safe space where you will not only be allowed, but your many identities will be celebrated. It is show tunes Sunday - I've been there many times before for this evening - and you will absolutely LOVE the atmosphere! Seriously it's amazing. Add this event to your calendar<https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=N2FyZWg5NHUxNnJlZWQ2bW9jbjl0OTZlNmEgbWF0dGhld2Frb3JleUBt&tmsrc=matthewakorey%40gmail.com> so that you don't forget! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via my e-mail (mkorey@purdue.edu<mailto:mkorey@purdue.edu>) or my phone (+1-513-382-3292). Looking forward to seeing you all there! :) Best, -- Matthew Korey National Science Foundation Graduate Research (GRFP) Fellow Materials Engineering - Purdue University Armstrong Hall - Room 2213 email: mkorey@purdue.edu<mailto:mkorey@purdue.edu>
