Vision Statement
The LGBT Center of Montclair State University will be a catalyst for change within and beyond our community, creating and sustaining an inclusive, equitable society of intellectual and culturally competent future leaders.
Mission Statement
The Mission of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Center at Montclair State University is to create a campus environment inclusive and supportive of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression through education, advocacy, and support for students, faculty, and staff. We focus on the unique academic, cultural, and social needs of LGBT students, and strive to enhance these students' learning and engagement in the academic process. Through our services, the LGBT Center presents educational, cultural, and social opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to challenge intolerance and promote acceptance, thus creating an open and affirming environment void of homophobia, heterosexism, and gender bias.
