Brown Alumni Pride Association

You're invited! Join BAPA to recognize the Trans Day of Visibility.

Our dear alum and nationally recognized LGBTQ+ advocate, Bryce J. Celotto (He/Him), M.A.T. 17', will be conducting the conversation. This program will center trans stories and highlights how trans people have always built power and community in the face of reistance – blending direct instruction, facilitated dialogue, and audience Q&A.

Participants will leave with deeper insight into the realities facing trans communitites in 2026, practical strategies for meaningful allyship, and a renewed sense of collective responsibility and power.

Join us on Tuesday, March 31, 7:00-8:15 pm EST. RSVP at brownconnectplus.brown.edu/events
