At last weekend's IvyQ conference, featured workshops ranged from "Oscar Wilde" to "Trans 101"—but a modern role model may have gotten the most attention.

Columbia hosted the second IvyQ conference for LGBTQ students and their straight allies at Ivy League schools, who heard from speakers like Amanda Simpson, senior technical adviser to the United States undersecretary of commerce and the first openly transgender female presidential appointee.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
