As a proud member of the GLBT community myself, I know how hard it is to cope effectively with the issues and problems that are unique to our community. I am here as a proverbial "safe zone" to Columbia State Learners who may be struggling with their gender and sexual identity—feel free to stop by my office in CLEM 131 or LCC 116 to talk.

Also, Dr. Linda Brunton (a "Straight ally") is also available to speak with GLBT Learners and others who are interested in GLBT issues. Vist her in CLEM 121.
