LITisOUT

   Limerick Institute of Technology
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Trans* Society
            (LGBT) Society
Who Are We?
• We are an inclusive group of L.I.T. students
  who identify as pro-equality & seek to create a
  safe & friendly campus for all students and
  staff regardless of whether they identify as
  Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans* or Straight
What do we do?

• Raise awareness of the diversity of LGBT students on
  campus
• Share information on local & national support
  organisations
• Create & strengthen links between LIT & local LGBT
  support services
• Share information on LGBT social options both locally &
  nationally
• Provide a library of hard copy resources for students &
  staff interested in LGBT resources & research
Visibility is key!




Our banner is chock full of information about
social networking options for students or staff
who are too hurried or shy about approaching
our stand. We also provide a library of hard copy
resources for students & staff interested in LGBT
resources & research
How do we do it?
• We maintain a physical presence at Open Days & are constantly in & out of
  the LITSU offices to keep our society ‘fresh’ in the minds of the SU Sabbats
  & receptionist.
• LITSU supports our virtual presence via their website




•   http://www.litsu.ie/?page_id=188
•   LITSU also updates their Facebook page with our events
Facebook
We began with a Facebook ‘Friends’ page Litisout Soc
Over time we realised that the ‘like’ page format was more
appropriate for our needs.

We have retained our Friends page & keep both pages
updated.
We plan to create a ‘closed group’ for students who aren’t
‘out’
Twitter



• We joined Twitter this year in order to provide
  another access point for members & other interested
  parties.
• It’s linked to our Facebook account which minimises
  the ‘work’ required in tweeting.
E-Mail

• litisout@gmail.com
• Via e-mail we keep LIT support staff in the loop
  regarding events, support organisations, training
  & research related to the LGBT communities
• This information is generally in the form of
  attachments which can be circulated in either
  hard or soft copy format.
• One lecturer shares this information on Moodle
  so that her students can access it.
Blogging

       litisout.wordpress.com




We set up a blog in order to provide access to
our contact details and events for those who
are uncomfortable with using other media like
Facebook or Twitter. This provides anonymity
for readers while providing a structure for
sharing much of the same information.
Thank you!
