ShoutOUT! Blog
Over the past few years, the Office has published the weekly e-newsletter, ShoutOUT!, for the LGBTQA community at the university. In order to provide more timely posting of resources, and to archive those resources, we have moved the newsletter to a blog format. Here you will find additional resources, news, events, and announcements for the Office of LGBTQ Student Life, LGBTQA student organizations, campus and Chicago events, national events, and so on.
We hope you will enjoy the new format for ShoutOUT! We're excited to further enhance the resources the Office of LGBTQ Student Life provides by creating the blog. If you have ideas or suggestions for topics, please let us know by emailing us at shoutout@lists.uchicago.edu. We also encourage you to sign-up for emails to receive posts when they are published. You may do so by clicking on the "Follow Us" button on the right side of this blog.
