St. George, UT 84770 435-652-78- 18 ADVERTISING Behind a rainbow-stripe- d flag and a glass window holds a place some students can now call home. LGBTQ students, staff and faculty now have a new resource center, thanks to a discussion and meeting that took place a little over a year ago, said Christina Duncan, assistant director of the Multicultural and Inclusion Center. Duncan, who is also the presidential fellow for inclusion and equity, said members of the Gay Straight Alliance sat down with President Biff Williams and administrators on campus to discuss opening up an LGBTQ Resource Center as part of Williams' strategic plan to create more diversity on campus. "It really is a space for everyone to come and feel comfortable," Duncan said. The center offers different events for the LGBTQ community or to anyone who has questions.
