Upcoming events are also being planned around this new initiative. "From an education perspective, we would ideally host panel events, roundtable discussions and perhaps even a speaker series," said Hamilton. "That will allow straight allies to really get involved in any discussions and social initiatives with the LGBTSA." However, awareness is only one facet of this new initiative. "We also hope to have social events that are public and open to the broader HBS community. We have corporate sponsors that are quite excited by the idea of helping to host a social event that is explicitly inclusive of the wider HBS community. So it's not just about education; it's also having fun with the LGBT community."
The initiative is still in its early phases, and Hamilton indicated that the club's willingness to involve new people continues. "Currently, we're trying to think of a specific name to demonstrate the inclusion of a group of allies and for the initiative itself," she said. "We currently are thinking of calling it 'Section Q'-a section that would be inclusive of everyone at HBS-but we're open to other ideas, as well."
