QUT GUILD's UNIVERSE MAGAZINE Universe_Sem1_FINAL PRINT | Page 32

GENDER + SEXUALITY 2017 is set to be a big year for the Guild or more specifically the Gender and Sexuality portfolio. Taking over from Abigail Hill and Bethany Fitzsimon, we are your new Gender and Sexuality Vice Presidents Isobella Powell and Aenghas Hopkinson-Pearson. We’re kicking off our year with International Women’s Day on March 8th. Building off last year, we will be bringing you an opportunity to celebrate, with a variety of women’s groups taking part in the day. If that’s not enough to excite you than come along and grab a snag, get keen! Like last year, we’ll also be bringing you Safe Sex Day to keep your sexy time, sexy. In previous years Gender and Sexuality have supported various charities such as the A21 Campaign, Beyond Blue, Red Cross and this year will be no different, we’ll keep you updated with this and a few more events over the year. Watch this space! One of our primary goals for 2017 is to ensure that QUT continues to be a safe campus for all students to study. Last year we pointed out several safety flaws surrounding the new smoke-free QUT policy and the potential risks of moving students off campus, particularly during the night. One of our goals for 2017 is to continue this focus to ensure that QUT is a safe campus for all students to come and learn. GENDER + sexuality IN 2017 Stay classy QUT, Izzy and Aenghas. 32
