Welcome! We are pleased to announce several exciting developments in LGBTQ life at Elon:

The inaugural Coordinator of Elon’s new LGBTQ Office, Dr. Kirstin Ringelberg, was appointed this August. She will be working to gather the various existing LGBTQ resources, organizations and research projects on campus under one umbrella while developing new initiatives to further enhance Elon’s commitment to diversity.

Also, plans are currently underway to develop a physical office on campus in 2012. In the meantime, please visit this site regularly to stay informed about on- and off-campus events, scholarship, and organizations relating to all sexual and gender identities. Our Office is dedicated to serving the entire Elon community, including students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors, with information, support, community groups and other resources.

We invite you to browse this website to see if there’s already something we offer that can serve your needs or answer your questions. Don’t see it? Then please contact us at lgbtq@elon.edu. All communication with our office is confidential, and if we cannot assist you, we’ll try to connect you with someone who can.
