So I've been accepted to a few art schools and I've decided to attend Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design as they're giving me the the most money. Now I just have to figure out my transitioning things. I'm planning on starting my transition next year and starting the school year off as Jace. All freshman and sophomores are required to live in the dorms so I need to figure out who to email about that as well as getting Jace as my preferred name on roll. There's so much staff, I'm not sure who to contact. The Dean? Residence Hall Director? I have no idea.

On a side note does anyone know of any good therapists in the Milwaukee area?

In Milwaukee, look up Pathways. It is a counseling center and they have a gender therapist on staff. Last I heard, her name was Patricia something. It is located on Bluemound road.

I'm not knowledgeable about the school aspect. Good luck.

Thanks I'll look into them.

Jace,
The school itself ought to have counseling services. I would imagine they have a plan already in place for helping students with your concerns integrate seamlessly onto the campus. Call the school's general line and ask to be transferred to student counseling services. When speaking to the switchboard, you could just say that it's regarding a personal concern. They would not probe further, I imagine.

Good luck,
Tegan
