We are pleased to announce the return of the popular NY6 Spectrum Conference, which will be held at Colgate University on February 21-23, 2025, led by the Office of LGBTQ+ Initiatives and the Department of LGBTQ Studies. The Spectrum Conference brings together students, faculty, and staff from Colgate, Hamilton, Hobart and William Smith, St. Lawrence,Skidmore, Union, and beyond for a weekend of community building, networking, and knowledge production. This free event celebrates a diverse range of sexualities, gender identities and expressions, backgrounds and experiences, cultures, and the insights we bring to social justice and advocacy.
The theme of the 2025 conference is QUEER* SPACES AND PLACES. We invite students, faculty, and staff to explore this theme in a variety of forms: workshops, roundtables, information sessions, and interactive engagements (games, performances, etc.). We also encourage you to express your vision of QUEER* SPACES AND PLACES in the form of visual, written, or multimedia art that would be displayed during the conference.

* By using queer*, we are including all identities that fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.
