A new organization called Spectrum: Connecting Queer and Ally Faculty and Staff has been launched to provide support and a social community at 5XÉçÇø. Supported by Kent State’s Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the organization encourages all faculty and staff who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-binary, queer, questioning, pansexual, polysexual, asexual, or any other sexual or gender identity and anyone who is an ally to the queer community to join. Everyone is welcome regardless of identity.
