My name is Max Morgan Falk (preferred name Morgan). I am one of the community co-chairs for the 2021-2022 school year, and I am a computer science major in the school of engineering. I am transgender (MtF) and have been undergoing a gender transition through the last seven years, with services provided at UNM’s student health and counseling center. For the last year I have also been out professionally, with my employers and cohort knowing of my gender identity status.
With the level of vaccinated individuals proving such that New Mexico is able to open up and have in person classes, I am eagerly hoping that UNM will also be able to provide for in-person student organization meetings. While at this point it is not guaranteed we would be able to do so, I am optimistic that come fall I will be able to see my friends in person rather than through a screen.
