Save the date! TIC returns on March 23, 2025.

Our focus is on trans and queer joy and all the ways we can create, nurture, amplify, share and celebrate it.

We center the distinct needs, experiences, and desires of college students and seek to encourage robust community building and connection to a network of peer changemakers across the region. The conference is geared towards students from UVM and surrounding colleges and universities in the region. Community members are welcome to attend.

TIC is a student-led and staff supported initiative. The planning committee meets weekly and in-person.

Join us!

Being part of the planning committee involves:

  • Meaningful student engagement in the planning process and the involvement of students from 3 area schools.
  • Learning opportunities for large event planning, not just a "sink or swim" approach.
  • Skill-ups in common organizing skills such as dealing with conflict, group decision-making processes, fundraising, and facilitating meetings.
  • Workshops, speakers, and community spaces determined by students.
  • Practicing accountability, equity, and justice as processes and not just outcomes.
  • Being in community with others who want to celebrate and uplift trans joy.

Interested in donating to support TIC? Be sure to set your "Designation" as The Prism Center and under "Gift Info" be sure to put for the Translating Identity Conference. Questions on how to support? Email tic@uvm.edu.

The planning committee meets every Tuesday evening, from 6 - 8pm.
