ABOUT LAMBDA |
||
|
|
This organization acts to make the local and area communities aware of issues surrounding the GLBTQ community here at home and outside of Kirksville. It serves as a liaison between Kirksville, KCOM, Truman faculty/staff, Truman Alumni, and the student GLBTQA organizations in the community.
Annually, LAMBDA donates time & raises money to help with diversity events in the community, support Truman's Gay & Lesbian Scholarship offered to students actively involved with GLBTQ issues, and hold special social events throughout the year. Some of these events include the Red Barn Arts Festival, Lobby Day at Jefferson City with PROMO, and the annual Pink Picnic in July.
LAMBDA also gives local residents and students assistance by answering questions about the GLBTQ community, explaining GLBTQ activism, offering GLBTQ courses at Truman, and maintaining local resources regarding sexual orientation and GLBTQ issues.
Many members of LAMBDA have been through a SAFE ZONE training provided by the Truman University Counseling Services, and help residents & students feel comfortable in their adjustment to Kirksville by serving as resources and connecting them with members of the GLBTQA community.
