OUR MISSION & GOALS
Community outreach
As the GSA (Gender and Sexuality Acceptance) group at NIST, we believe in that normalizing the LGBTQ+ community in both social and academic situations is essential for the acceptance of LGBTQ+ students and adult members of the NIST community. |
Creating a safe space
Having a safe space for members of the LGBTQ+ community allows for people to gather and have a community to share stories and experiences to become stronger together. |
Raising Awareness
Raising awareness about discrimination and mistreatment of the LGBTQI+ community, especially within NIST, is necessary to prevent unnecessary hate and bullying. |
To Educate
Educating the NIST community through additions to the curriculum and through current news on this website about LGBTQ+ events and people to normalize the community. |
