  • To offer opportunities for faculty and staff to meet in culturally and socially supportive gatherings
  • To organize informational workshops and training about LGBTQ+ issues
  • To share university and community resources related to LGBTQ+ faculty and staff
  • To provide a forum to exchange ideas and information with administration and the broader University community about LGBTQ+ issues on campus
