Creating safe space on Grounds

[LostInTime]

The LGBT Resource Center seeks to provide both a safe haven for students and programming that challenges the social status quo

Looking at the t-shirt project itself, the results from a survey of participants last year are overwhelmingly positive. Two hundred and fifty-five people responded to the survey, and 85 percent thought this project was "effective" or "very effective" at raising awareness of the LGBT community. Ninety-six percent thought it was "effective" or "very effective" at giving allies of the LGBT community an opportunity to visibly show their support. And 98 percent "recommended" or "strongly recommended" that the LGBT Resource Center continue the t-shirt project again in the future. Given that such small numbers of University community members are interested in our mission, these results could not be ignored.
