LGBTQIA+ Alliance


Advisor: Claire McCully | Claire.McCully@wnc.edu
Meetings: TBA | TBA | TBA

The WNC GSA is leading the work to create safe and LGBTQ- inclusive environments. Through Awareness building, dialogues, events to take part in like the Day of Silence, Ally Week, and Transgender day of Remembrance. WNC GSA strives to ensure that each member of our college community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or expression. We believe that such an atmosphere engenders a positive sense of self, which is the basis of educational achievement and personal growth. Since homophobia and heterosexism undermine a healthy school climate, we work to educate teachers, students and the public at large about the damaging effects these forces have on youth and adults alike. We recognize that forces such as racism and sexism have similarly adverse impacts on communities and we support all those who are seeking to redress all such inequities.
