We affirm the full humanity and dignity of every human being, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. We create and maintain an open and supportive environment for GLBTQA faculty and staff by providing educational programs, opportunities for social interaction and advocacy.

We are an informal group and open to all Wright State University Faculty, Staff, and Retirees. We partner with community organizations and agencies and welcome representatives to our meetings.  We encourage members to participate when they are available to do so and at a level they feel comfortable.  Individuals are welcome to join us or rejoin us at any time.

Meeting Schedule

Thursdays at noon in the GLBTQA Resource Room, 016 Student Union.  Special meetings may be held in different locations.  Contact a member of the organizational leadership to confirm meeting location.

The Allies listserv was established about 15 years ago as a way for GLBTQA faculty and staff and GLBTQ friendly faculty and staff to communicate. A few years ago the listserv was expanded to include partners of WSU employees, alumni and even adult children of WSU employees. Anyone who is on the list can send an email to the list by posting it to allies@wright.edu. However, if you are not on the list you cannot send a message to the list. The names of the members of the list do not appear on emails. When you post to the list, your name does appear as the sender of the message. There are about 100 people currently on the list. At this point the focus of the list is on issues of interest to this community. Members often forward links, but the list is also there for discussion. Otherwise, it is our group and our list. Feel free to initiate gatherings or projects.
To join the Allies listserv contact Cheryl Meyer, Ph.D., J.D. (cheryl.meyer@wright.edu).
