LBGT
Issues Group
About
the Issues Group
The
LBGT Issues Group is a committee of faculty, staff, students, and alumni(ae)
who are lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, or just plain friendly.
We seek to foster a safe and welcoming environment for LBGT students
and to ensure that the educational mission of MIT is upheld for all
students regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Meetings
are once a month and address specific projects dealing with the concerns
of the LBGT community. Anyone affiliated with MIT and LBGT-friendly
is welcome to join or participate.
The LBGT Issues Group is coordinated by a Steering Committee selected by the
Issues Group each April. The current Steering Committee is:
- George Barbastathis, Faculty Rep
- Sylvain Bruni, Graduate Student Rep
- Isaac Lozada, Undergraduate Student Rep
- Stephen Pepper, Staff Rep
- Stan Zanarotti, Alumni Rep
- Abigail Francis, Ex Officio
