Stonewall Suites

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Center and the Office of Residential Education and Services will be selecting a group of students to participate in our Stonewall Suites LGBT Living Community for the 2013-2014 academic year. Students residing in the Stonewall Living Community have the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable living and learning experience, where residents are placed without consideration of gender identity/expression, or sexual orientation. This community seeks to connect students interested in supporting and educating themselves and their community about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender questioning/queer/ally community. Students living in this community will work to connect the theory they learn in the classroom with opportunities for student involvement through Residential Education and Services and the LGBT Center. This community is located in Hawk Crossings.
