Students and faculty gathered on the Gulfport campus Monday night, Nov. 20, for a presentation and candlelight vigil coordinated by Stetson’s Lambda Legal Society to remember transgender individuals who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence.

Communities gather worldwide in November for a memorial, lighting a candle for people who have lost their lives.
