Welcome

The Ohio Wesleyan Community is comprised of many diverse groups. Among these groups are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons. Their presence is not a question but a clearly demonstrated fact. Like any other minority group, GLBT persons face certain issues that the majority does not, including violence, discrimination, invisibility and isolation. Thus there is a need within the Ohio Wesleyan community for a service which comprehensively and safely addresses these concerns. The purpose of the GLBT Resource Center is to help provide lesbigay and transgendered persons, their friends and their families with the tools to address GLBT related issues and to assist in educating the campus community at large.

Objectives

• Facilitate interaction between GLBT groups with other student groups on campus and with other local and national organizations.
• Provide reference materials.
• Sponsor GLBT programming on campus.
• Meet the urgent need for a clearly recognized GLBT safe zone on campus.
• Incorporate GLBT issues into curricular and co-curricular learning.
