Torch and Stevens Trivia Club present LGBTQ trivia

As many may know, October is LGBTQ+ History Month. To celebrate, many organizations on campus including Torch, oSTEM (Out in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), SITTV, the Office of Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and Stevens Trivia Club, have planned events all throughout October. 

In an interview with The Stute, Serina Rodriguez, President and Secretary of Torch, shared more details about the event, which is happening on October 21, and is “open to all.” Rodriguez explained, “For the Queer Trivia event students should expect a good time puzzling out answers to carefully curated trivia questions thanks to Stevens Trivia Club. We have looked over these questions and I can say a decent amount of them will tickle your brain. We are hoping to provide everyone who comes with a great time. And I believe there should be prizes for the top 3 performing teams.” At the event, students will be playing in teams of up to four players, and “[t]he questions range from LGBT rights movement to LGBT in media and art. I think most of the questions are solvable for the general public, in other words, mainstream enough.” 

Additionally, Rodriguez stressed the importance of coming to the events being hosted by the aforementioned clubs. She noted, “This event is a way to engage the Stevens community to learn more about LGBTQ+ History and have some fun doing it. There are many events happenings for LGBTQ+ History Month and I recommend anyone who want to show up to interact with Queer culture and learn more about our history.” 

As Rodriguez stated, many of the events are open to everyone and are a way for students to interact with these clubs and gain more understanding of LGBTQ+ history at Stevens. She summarized, “I think that the best part of celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month at Stevens is that I get to learn a lot about our history and then share that with others. On top of that plenty of the events are fun and entertaining.”
