LGBTQIA  

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Inter-sex, Ally (LGBTQIA) Studies Learning Community is, an academic community that:

• honors the contributions and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender peoples and heterosexual allies
• provides a supportive and safe space for a first-year student
• allows you to connect with those who share your experiences or interests
• gives a sense of community that will enable you to achieve academic, social, professional and personal success.

In addition to the courses, activities and events during the academic year, community speakers will enable students to understand the legal, medical, educational, and cultural issues that can arise for LGBTQIA citizens locally and globally. This will strengthen your ability to work within and across contexts involving these communities. The residents live together in Cowden Hall.
