The service will take place by the Peace Pole in Sacred Heart Square, just outside of the McNichols Campus Library on the McNichols Campus. All are welcome to attend.

Transgender Day of Remembrance began in 1999 to honor Rita Hester, a transgender woman killed in 1998. Since then, it has been observed annually to raise awareness of transphobia and the fatal violence that disproportionately affects transgender people, especially women of color.

Stop by the McNichols Campus Library to learn more about the history and experiences of transgender people through its Transgender Day of Remembrance book display and other resources.
