After discovering the Center and the individuals within it, I started actively reporting on the LGBTQI community on campus. I gained a new interest in LGBTQI issues and even researched the process of "coming out" for a class on gender and sex trauma.
I can still remember opening my desk drawer for the first time my freshman year and seeing a card displaying the Vanderbilt Community Creed. I was impressed by the description of "a common set of values" that unite the people of this university - students, faculty, and staff.
