On Nov. 29, a workshop titled “Queer and Trans Inclusion in the Classroom and the Workplace” provided students and faculty with an opportunity to build community on campus. The event was described on Embark as one in which “participants [would] explore relevant LGBTQ+ history, contemporary LGBTQ+ dynamics within the educational context — including identity development theories, educational and social trends, and more — engage [with] concepts of allyship and advocacy and have the opportunity to apply these learnings to the Mount Holyoke community past, present and future.”

Kumawat is determined to assist her community members. “[FGLI students] don’t expect … to [buy] $100 books. … You need to be used to staying away from your family and [build] … a community here.” Kumawat said “What else? Genuinely knowing how college works [is difficult], because our parents don’t know, [for example,] how many credits we have to take.” With FGLI students lacking familiarity with the college system and stable financial resources, every expense and decision is made alone.
