Northern Michigan University's annual Gender Fair will take place from 11 a.m to 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, in the Jamrich Hall lobbies. It will feature informational booths and various discussions to spread awareness, education and conversation about gender and related topics between students, staff and the Marquette community. There will also be raffle drawings. For the duration of the event, the restrooms on the first floor of Jamrich will be gender-neutral. Other restrooms in the building will maintain their gender-specific designations.
The NMU Gender Fair is hosted by the gender and sexuality studies minor program. Its purpose is to create and enhance diversity and inclusion on NMU's campus. Booths are available to organizations and clubs interested.
