Our purpose is simple: to normalize expressions of queerness - whatever that may mean to you - in our School by being our genuine selves. Every month, this informal BYOB, BYOF, BYOVibes-style gathering ranges from music performances, to playing boardgames, to teach-in and guest speakers, to art shows, drag events, or simply having a good catch up with an old or new friend. This is a social by and for the community, we're just providing the space and minimal structure, the rest is up to us, how and what we wanna show up to. The sky is the limit! All members of our broader community (queer and allies, campus and non-campus) are welcome! Host: Sergio Carbajo, Engineering and Physics Professor Pay what you can: your presence and energy is all we need. All collected funds will be used to support the queer community on campus, students, activists, scientists, and artists. Visitor Parking: https://transportation.ucla.edu/campus-parking/visitors
