Special Trees In the Forest (STIF) is a social and advocacy group for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer and Allied students at FES. As FES and the environmental movement continue to address diversity issues on multiple levels, STIF is working to increase the openness and inclusivity at FES towards those who identify as LGBTQ. Primarily, STIF provides a safe and welcoming space within FES for students who identify as LGBTQ. Additionally, we provide a means to network with allied groups in the graduate and professional school community and work to extend the reach of underrepresented and minority groups within the environmental community. STIF sponsors discussion groups, film showings, social events, and brings speakers to campus. For more information, contact fesstif@gmail.com.
