Our Mission

To educate the WSU community and the community of Winona by acting as a source of information on political and social issues pertinent to sexual and gender diversity and to advocate and work for full rights of GLBT people at all levels of society.
To act as a support for WSU students, faculty, and employees of diverse sexual orientations or gender identifications.
To work for a greater understanding of each member’s cultural and political background, including issues of ethnic, social, racial, sexual, and ethical significance.
To provide a safe learning atmosphere for students. Because people of varying gender and sexual identifications have been persecuted and belittled, it is vital an environment is created in which they may feel safe and free of abuse. Because of this, the GLBTA Partnership shall advocate a chemical-free and harassment-free environment.

Upcoming Event: Safe Space Training

The GLBTA (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Allies) Faculty and Staff Committee will be holding a safe space training session for faculty, staff, and administrators on Wednesday, February 13, 2008, from 2-5 p.m. in Dining Rooms E and F in Kryzko Commons. Training participants will learn about providing safe spaces for GLBTA students, faculty, staff, and administrators at Winona State University. After the training, individuals will decide if they want to participate actively in the safe space program. If you are interested in attending the training, please contact the WSU GLBTA Advocate, Daniel Lintin, at dlintin@winona.edu. Refreshments will be provided during the training.
