The Minnesota GLBTA Campus Alliance strives to build a statewide network of individuals and organizations working for equality and justice on issues of gender and sexual diversity; empower the voices of groups that are underserved and underrepresented in our campus communities; and create welcoming, affirming, and safe environments on college and university campuses throughout the state of Minnesota.
The MN Campus Alliance envisions a Minnesota where every college and university campus is welcoming, safe, and affirming for all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members with regard to gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.
Since March 2006, the MN Campus Alliance has been living out this mission by offering events, programming, and opportunities aimed at building community, developing leaders, and creating welcoming, affirming, and safe environments for GLBTA individuals.
Such programs include:
The MN Campus Alliance is committed in affirming the dignity and promoting the diversity and respect of all persons in our campus communities with regard to one’s gender identity or expression, sexual orientation or identity, sex, affectional preference, race, ethnicity, culture, age, religious or spiritual belief, class or socio-economic status, residential status, military or veteran status, political affiliation, marital or familial status, or openness of any of the aforementioned.
The Campus Alliance is steadfast in breaking the silence surrounding gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit, intersex, queer, questioning, genderqueer, gender variant, pansexual, omnisexual, asexual, and allied persons. Through open meetings, presentations, trainings, social gatherings, and conferences, the Campus Alliance will promote learning and understanding surrounding the mosaic of diverse experiences, identities, and cultures working for peace, justice, equality, and respect for all persons in society.
