CONGRATULATIONS TO
2012 Kidder Award Winners: Dan Innis and AJ Jeffries

2012 marked the 40th Anniversary of the landmark legal decision granting the UNH Gay Student Organization (GSO) status as a recognized student organization. Original GSO members (Wayne April, Cris Arguedas, Roma Baran, Richard Maxfield, and Ann Philbin) participated in a panel discussion and reflected on the UNH campus climate in the 70’s and how this experience helped shaped their lives.

View the PowerPoint and take a look back at 40 years of progress

Transilience is an intensely personal and powerful film that features film writer, activist and educator Joelle Ruby Ryan. The film takes viewers on a journey into her life as a gender outlaw. Mixing performance footage of trans autobiographical fragments throughout the life cycle with stock footage, found images, and still photos, the video entices viewers to imagine what life outside of the gender binary is really like, up close and personal. Raw and passionate, viewers see the persecution that Joelle has faced, as well as her complex political evolution and activist awakening. Joelle Ruby Ryan is a lecturer in the Women's Studies Program at UNH. Film is sponsored by Kidder Fund, Health Services and Women's Studies.
