  • Identify and document both the University and community resources currently available to meet the needs of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students, staff and faculty.
  • Identify areas of high need for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community members that are not being met by either the University or community resources.
  • Recommend specific short-term and long-term strategies to address areas of high need for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students, staff and faculty.
