The LGBT Center sponsored a Ropes Course event this past Friday, and a fantastic time was had by all who participated (including the facilitators, who found us quite amusing). We challenged our fears of heights, built strong friendships, and learned new things about each other. Thanks again to those who were there!

October 8-12 is National Coming Out Week. Help the LGBT Center celebrate the courage and bravery of the LGBTA campus and community. This week promises to be filled with rainbows, reflection, and fun.

Coming out means choosing to live on your own terms. It is a resounding vote of your confidence in your own worth.
