LGB Traveling Exhibit

8-7-97
University Park, PA -- A traveling exhibit titled "Lesbian and Gay Issues at Penn State, 1971-1996: 25 Years of Progress" is available from the Commission on Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Equity and University Archives. This exhibit is based on the very successful LGB History Month event that took place at University Park from October 14, 1996 - January 6, 1997 where several thousand students, faculty, staff and visitors viewed the history of lesbian, gay, and bisexual members of the Penn State community.

Sponsored by the Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity, the exhibit tells the story of how events during the last 25 years influenced the University; changing it from a homophobic climate into one that today is supportive of its gay, lesbian, and bisexual faculty, staff, and students.

The exhibit consists of ten foamcore panels boards (32" x 40") which may be mounted in an exhibit space. Also included with the exhibit is an information packet containing brochures and resources. The cost of the exhibit is approximately $40.00.

For more information on the exhibit or for schedule availability, please contact Tracy Leitzel at 814 863-7696.
