IU's Gay-Straight Alliance club will be hosting a Diversity Ball on Sun. April 13 at 8 p.m.-10 p.m. at the Frangipani Room in the Union.
This will be the first year that GSA will be hosting the event, and according to the club's Vice-President Anne Tinder, "The event started because GSA wanted a social event where we could collaborate with other student organizations. We are a new organization, started last year, so we are looking to build connections with like-minded groups across campus."
Leaders from other student organizations will be speaking about their own organization's interpretations of diversity. In addition, guests will make cards for patients from Positive Link, which is Bloomington Hospital's HIV/AIDS program.
Over 100 people are expected to come to support GSA's mission of providing "a safe environment where members of the LGBT community and their allies can come together in discussion, service, and activism," Tinder said.
Dress is casual and their will be food. Guests are required to bring nothing but an open mind.
