Here's the bio my co-author, Alyse Knorr, and I submitted with our proposal if you want something super short: Erin Winterrowd and Alyse Knorr have been working together on queer inclusivity efforts since they first started at their institution in 2016. Together, they have co-founded Regis University’s first Queer Resource Alliance and created a three-hour LGBTQIA inclusivity training called Brave Space, along with numerous other campus advocacy initiatives.
