Join us for a special edition of Tea Time Talks with Jim Parrott, one of the original members who helped start what we now know as The Glow Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity at the University of Waterloo.

🗓️ Tuesday, October 8 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
📍 SLC 3103 (The Glow Centre)
🌈 All are welcome | Drop-in event
☕ Refreshments provided while supplies last

In 1971, Jim attended the very first meeting that sparked the creation of Glow—making it the longest-running 2SLGBTQIA+ student organization in Canada. He’ll share powerful stories from the beginnings of queer student activism at the UWaterloo, reflecting on identity, community, and the fight for visibility in the 1970s.

Expect an evening full of conversation, campus history, and honest reflections from someone who was there from the beginning. Whether you’re curious about where Glow came from or just want to hear some powerful stories over a warm drink, this is a talk you won’t want to miss!
