statenews.com – By Summer Ballentine

In honor of Transgender Awareness Week, which began last Saturday, students and community members attended events throughout the week to remember victims of transgender violence.

Transgender Days of Remembrance included the screening of a documentary of young adults’ transformations to another gender and the opening of an art exhibit yesterday at Student Services. The art exhibit, “Transitions,” focuses not only on the transition between genders, but also on broader transitions, including the changing of seasons.
