Subject: Douglas College Nursing Students need your help!
To:
prideubc@interchange.ubc.caHi there, I am representing a group of us (three) from the Douglas
College nursing program...wondering if you can help us. We are doing a
community development project involving trying to connect LGBTQ
nursiing students from the major nursing programs in BC. We are
workign on gettign a website together and hoping to collaborate with
LGBTQ students from these programs.
Here is the tough part..gaining access to this population. We need a
way to get the word out about meetings we are hosting at Douglas
College in our student union builidng every two weeks. We just had a
meeting yesterday and two individuals..one form Douglas and one from
BCIT came. Although this wasn't as successful as we would have liked,
we haven't had a chance to access UBC in any way as none of us know
anyone in the nursing program there. We have a letter/notice written
up explaining our meetings and goals but the problem lies in getting
access to UBC computer communication system if possible like we have
here(WEBCT). Can you help us? We understand the need for complete
confidentiality as nursing program is not the most LGBTQ friendly
environment/program.
Any help with this, woudl be greatly appreciated. Our next
meeting/gathering is a week this Monday. there will be food and great
converstation in a safe environment we aim to create. the metign time
an dlocation is only emailed to individuals that will be attending. Do
you happen to know a contact in the nursing department that may be
able/willing t help us?
Thanks for any help you can offer us!
Lindsay"
