The idea for TIC was born from Free To Be, the University of Vermont's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Alliance, a Student Government Association recognized club entirely run by students. In the fall of 2002, Free To Be members decided they wanted to put on a conference devoted to trans issues, in hopes they might make a difference by educating the surrounding community.
TIC's first year was in April 2003. Since then there was a conference in February of 2004, March of 2005 and February of 2006. At the 2005 conference the students set a record at the University of Vermont by putting on the largest student run conference ever at the University. The committee is extremely devoted and hard working. Learn more about this year's TIC Committee here, and please join us for our wonderful conference!
