Please see the LGBT Resource Center website for more information.

There are several ways for you to take a more active role in the lives of the LGBT members of our campus community. You need not identify as LGBT - everyone is welcome.

If you would like join the Support Network, the administrative committee that coordinates all activities, contact either of the Network co-chairs listed below. There are a wide variety of ways you can help and they don't involve having to come to weekly meetings and get bogged down with paperwork.

While we will welcome any interested people, we are particularly in need of faculty members to either be on the Network or serve as an advisor/consultant for how we can better involve faculty in our programs and initiatives.

The LGBT Support Network also has a listserv. Subscriptions must be approved, but if you are interested in joining, email listserv@listserv.it.northwestern.edu, with no subject, and write "SUBSCRIBE LGBTSN [First Name] [Last Name]".

If you would like to be a "Safe Space" for LGBT members of our campus community, check out the Safe Space Program page. We are hoping to greatly increase the number of visible supportive members of our community. While we ask that you are committed to the ideals of the program, the basic time committment is very small in that you will fill out a brief application and attend a 3-4 hour training session.

Direct questions about the Safe Space Program to Doris Dirks - Center for Student Involvement, LGBT Resource Center Coordinator, Coordinator of Student Organizations for Social Justice
