Several magazines are available in the Multicultural Center.
As the publications are updated, the old copies are
also free to be taken by any students, faculty, or staff
members. The magazines we have are, as follows:
-
The Advocate is a US-based
LGBT-related biweekly newsmagazine. Established in 1967, it
is the oldest continuing gay publication in the United
States.
-
Out is a popular gay men's
fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle magazine with the
highest circulation of any gay monthly publication in the
United States. It carries itself in a similar editorial
manner to Details and GQ.
-
Curve is the best-selling lesbian
magazine in the United States. It covers news,
politics, social issues, and includes celebrity interviews

and a website that hosts an internet forum focusing on

The Triad Business and Professional Guild-Broach
Scholarship: The Triad Business and
Professional Guild is an organization comprised of more
than 250 gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered persons and
their allies in the Triad. Though sexual orientation
of an applicant is not a factor, it is the intention of the
scholarship to support individuals who will lead others in
understanding that acceptance of diversity is the goal.

Foundation (Point) is the nation's largest
