Lesbigay SIG Web Development

Scott Van Der Meid and I are working on revising the SIG Web site. Specifically, I am in charge of adding a new student section and plan to have it up before San Diego so that we can announce it in sessions and have advisors/students start usin g it. The purpose of this student section is to have an Internet site that GLBT students can turn to for pre-departure, in-country, reentry, etc. information (as the page will be subheaded). By having a site with important information and links for studen ts, advisors can include this Web address in their materials and orientation sessions for students. What we have on the SIG Web site now is great, but it is geared toward study abroad advisors.

To keep the process moving, please think about the following information you or your students can contribute:

• Web links and bibliographical resources geared toward students -- especially pre-departure and in-country (preferably ones are not already on the SIG site)
• An overview of issues or points that students should be aware of for each subheading (pre-departure, in-country, reentry...)
• Student testimonials for each subheading (pre-departure, in-country, reentry...)
• Your ideas and suggestions on what should be included in the student section

Please send along your brainstorming suggestions. Thanks!
