The Marshall University Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Outreach office is here to serve the needs of the Marshall University community. We provide programs for both the classroom and campus environments.
Safe Space and Allies Project
The Safe Space and Allies Project is run out of the LGBT Outreach office. Participants in this project are given a sticker to be placed on their door or in their office area. By placing their sticker faculty and staff members show that they are allies in the LGBT Community. For more information please call or visit our office. We are currently updating the Safe Space program.
Guest Speakers
From time to time the Office brings guest speakers to campus to discuss issues of concern to the LGBT community. These programs are open to the public and are intended to enlighten and inform as well as offer additional views on an issue. If you would like to suggest a speaker contact the office or use our feedback page.

The LGBT Outreach Office offers outreach presentations to University 101 classes, specialized classes, and other campus groups. These Presentations include LGBT related issues including coming out, homophobia, stereotypes, and LGBT life in the United States and Huntington.
