History

The LGBTQ Center celebrated its opening in the Fall of 2009. It was created through the efforts of the One in Ten Committee, a group composed of students, faculty, and staff. The Center originated from a conversation about the need for a welcoming and supportive safe space for LGBT students on campus. As of 2022 the Center has been in service to the ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ community for 13 years.

Vision
