The Courage to Be Myself: A Journey of Dignity, Hope, and Human Rights

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Food, refreshments, and live music by Opus 216

Mugisha will attend the ceremony via livestream from Uganda, as travel from Uganda to the United States is restricted due to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He also will share a lecture during the ceremony. 

Guests may attend the ceremony in-person at the Thwing Center Excelsior Ballroom or join the ceremony online.
