The talk, entitled: "Out Loud: Reflections of Queer Life at Dartmouth," contributed an aspect of diversity to the Symposium, which typically tends to focus on academic issues, said Andrew Thompson '00, co-chair of the Senior Symposium Planning Committee. Peter Jacobsen '00, Ezra Cooper '00 and Jane Peachy '99, along with Pam Meisner, LGBT coordinator, all shared their Dartmouth experiences and provided insight into a community outside of the mainstream.
