(If you're a learner currently enrolled at Columbia State—LGBT or Straight—and have ideas on how to build support for LGBT learners or would like to take a more active role in creating an atmosphere of acceptance for LGBT learners, for example starting a student-led organization, feel free to contact me, Dr. Brunton, or Ms. Lacey Benns. Either one of us would be happy to discuss your ideas further.)
As a proud member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community, I definitely know how hard it is to cope effectively with the issues and problems that are unique to our community. I "came out" when I was 17-years-old, and although this was the most liberating event in my life, it was only the beginning of a new journey of on-going self-discovery. I am here as a proverbial "safe zone" to currently enrolled Columbia State learners who may be struggling with their gender and sexual identity or any learner who would like more information on issues related to the LGBT community.
If you would to talk or need guidance, feel free to stop by my office on the Columbia main campus in the Clement Bldg. room 131 or on the Lawrence County campus in room 116 to talk. You can also e-mail me at djackson30@columbiastate.edu.
