Trainings

We are committed to providing the necessary knowledge to advance access and opportunities. We spark curiosity and share innovative solutions.

S.O.G.I.E. 


Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression (SOGIE) {soh-jee} are key elements of one’s identity that impact their experience in higher education. Our new SOGIE 101 Training is an educational opportunity to enhance cultural competence, understand student experiences, and learn about campus resources. 

This 1-hour interactive training offers participants the opportunity to reflect about the beautiful complexities pertaining to SOGIE while engaging in activities focused on finding solutions.

Participants will gain insights that apply to our Mountaineer core values and mission. These include tools to improve services, expand curiosity, extend respect, incorporate accountability, and appreciate diverse contributions. By advancing this cultural competence, participants will be better equipped to advance education, health, and prosperity for all.

We encourage all to take advantage of this opportunity. Sessions are offered online, in-person, and per request to groups and classrooms at lgbtq@mail.wvu.edu. Certificate of completion provided upon request. RSVP required.
