On June 19, 2018 I gave my first Keynote Address at the SUNY SPECTRUM Conference in Albany, NY to more than 600 attendees. The focus of the conference was preventing and responding to violence against LGBTQI+ students. It was an honor to be invited to speak and I had the pleasure of meeting just a few people that are doing incredible work to create a safe environment for the LGBTQI+ college community.
