P.E.A.R.L.
(Penn’s Eagerly Awaited Radical LesBiTrans Women) |
| P.E.A.R.L. (Penn’s
Eagerly Awaited Radical LesBiTrans Women) is an organization
designed to make Penn more fun for women. Founded in 1988
on an informal basis, PEARL developed by and for women
interested in addressing the needs of lesbian, bisexual,
and questioning women and their friends. It provides education,
social networking opportunities as well as peer contact
and support systems, which are unique on the campus of
the University of Pennsylvania. This year PEARL sponsored
a number of programs including two dinners cosponsored
with the PWC. The Fall 2002 program provided an opportunity
for an informal discussion of issues and concerns facing
LGBTQ women at Penn. The Spring 2003 dinner was part of
PWC celebration of QPENN and featured guest speakers, Linda
Hanna and Sharon Mullally discussing “Peace as an
LGBTQ Issue examining the conflict in the Mideast and their
recent trip to the West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of
a U.S. peace keeping team. Discussions on relationships
and dating was another topic pursued this year by PEARL. |
