QUESTers!

I bet it’s been awhile since you’ve heard from me. I really do hope everyone is having an enjoyable and relaxing summer!

While most people have been winding themselves down after the school year, the QUEST board has been keeping up and trying to manage our events for next year as well as develop ourselves to be more visible. Check out the summer edition of QUEST News and stay tuned for our fall events schedule!

PennPortal Channel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the things that we have been able to do this summer was obtain and setup our very own channel on the PennPortal. In the future, we hope to use this to keep our events and links within easy reach of our membership or anyone else who is interested.

To add the channel, first log in to the PennPortal. Once logged in, click on “Add stuff” in the upper right hand corner. When on the next page, you can look in the categories tab section for “Student groups/organizations” and look for QUEST @ Penn in the available channels list or just look for it directly. Choose a column that you want our channel to appear in and you’re done! You now have the QUEST channel in your customized portal.

LGBT Center Website
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LGBT Center is beginning a process to review and improve their website <http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/lgbtc/>.  Our first step is to have a meeting bringing together a few people to create a brief questionnaire about improving the site, which will go out to the wider community.  The meeting will be Monday, July 27th, from noon-1p at the Center (3907 Spruce St), with a light lunch provided.  Please reply to Erin <ecross@upenn.edu> if you are interested and can attend.  In preparation for the meeting, we ask participants take a look at the site and give some thought to what questions we should ask the community to elicit the most meaningful input.  No further commitment – unless you want to be actively involved going forward – and it’s a free lunch.  We’d really appreciate your help getting the project off the ground.

Maggie Krall, co-chair, LGBT Center website task force

p.s. If you can’t make the meeting, but have any feedback about the website or suggestions for the survey, please e-mail Maggie at <krall@mail.med.upenn.edu>.

On behalf of the entire board, I wish you the best for the rest of the summer!
