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.
Trans-Plan Program
The Trans-Plan program, which will be unveiled for the fall 2008 semester, is designed to help Transgender student adapt to the campus environment. Transgender students can come into the LGBT Outreach and receive a resource packet with housing and facility information. The LGBT Outreach welcomes transgender students and we will do whatever we can to help you make the most of your college experience. We encourage students who are beginning the transitioning process take advantage of this program.
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.
Speaker Series
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.
