Western Connecticut State University is participating in the Day of Silence today.  It's  a student-led national event where participants take a vow of silence  to highlight the silencing of LGBTQ+ persons at school.  West Conn's event is hosted by the Gender and Sexuality Alliance and supported by the Office of InterCultural Affairs. Day of Silence, last held at WestConn in 2015, is aimed at having participants think about issues still to be tackled and to make West Conn a more inclusive place.
