History & History Making:
The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance (LGBTA) was created in 1974,
and has become one of
the most respected LGBT organizations across college campus' nationwide.
The year 2001 marks a
change in our club, we have altered our club name to the LGBTSA: Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Straight Alliance.

We are right across the
hall from the Pottery Room. So if you need to ask some random stranger
for directions and need to
be discreet, just ask for the Pottery Room. After you make your way
to the basement of the Union,
you can't miss us, there are large signs posted around the door.
