Participants may apply for 1 Continuing Education Unit (CEU). Those choosing CEU are required to complete 8 contact symposium hours and 2 hours to prepare and submit the required Engagement & Empowerment Symposium Response Paper.

This continuing education workforce development course utilizes a two-fold interactive symposium design format to increase greater awareness and social action within the human diversity field serving marginalized, oppressed, and minority populations; more specifically, the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Queer and Transgender (LGBQT) communities in Guam and Micronesia.

First, through panel discussions, poster board displays and break out presentation sessions, participants will gain first-hand knowledge from select presenters concerning the quality of life issues for the LGBQT community. 

Second, economic opportunities will be presented about the various pipelines and pathways in which federal grant funding may provide government and non-profit organizations to empower and engage the systemic process of inclusion and engagement to resolve social injustices experienced by the LGBQT community, their families and informal social support network. The symposium concludes with crafting a call to action outline resulting from the symposium presentations and participant dialogue.
