During this current SA election season we have witnessed countless errors in regards to our work for a LGBT resource center for the George Washington University population. This letter hopes to set the record well…straight.

The George Washington University is the only university in its market basket to not have a LGBT resource center. The student LGBT community faces unique needs that cannot simply be met by traditional departments.

In recognizing this need, Allied in Pride and its allies began a grassroots campaign to obtain such a center. We have conducted research, met with numerous administrators, hosted a town hall meeting, and engaged the GW community about the need for a resource center.
In order to further demonstrate the need for a center to the GW community we decided to push for an SA Senate Resolution. Introduced by Vishal Aswani, and supported by twenty other senators, we were able to pass the resolution.

The resolution was simply another step that we took to making the LGBT Resource Center a reality. While we appreciate the help of the SA, we would like to recognize the continual hard work of our members and allies as the main organizing power throughout this process.
