"But I think people are entertained by it and it encourages people to get interested in pale- even partial skeletons. Irmis also writes grant proposals, organizes collections and meets with students about their own research projects.

"Anytown is a residential camp for high school kids, it's dealing with the isms around us, and its been doing so since the 19505," Zamora said. "When I went there and knew I had to participate in these kinds of conversations, I was so confused on how to see my past and articulate them to people. I didn't know what to do; I didn't know what to say. No one had ever listened to my narrative, so I didn't know if I had the emotional capacity to hear somebody else's." Zamora also talked about broader social justice issues, such as minimum wage, immigration and unemployment. He also asked attendees to think about how the LGBT Resource Center has impacted their lives. "Think about where you would be without the LGBT Resource Center, take a moment to think about where we would be. Would you even be here? Think about what they've done for our community," Zamora said. Wes Smiley of the Utah Pride Center said the best part about attending the banquet was actually seeing and hearing about how much the LGBT Resource Center does in the community. "I think it's just great to see how much impact the center and the services have on students. You hear about it, but to see these people and personally hear their stories. It's just incredible," Smiley said. r.estrada@chronicle.utah.edu CREDIT UNION f • A PRESENTATION BY ght Neat Mork &met; NATIONAL RELIGION CORRESPONDENT r4337 9301 1010 2020 09 /14 JOE O EN1RER LAURIE GOODSTEIN RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY: AMERICA'S STRENGTH AND CHALLENGE NCUA TITLE IX NOTICE The University of Utah, as a public and equal opportunity institution, prohibits discrimination or harassment on the base of sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, status as a person with a disability (including but not limited to, blindness or visual impairment), race/ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, age, veteran's status, or genetic information in admissions, enrollment, employment, or the participation in its education programs or activities.
