  • 2015 Campus Pride Annual Report
    20ANNUAL15 REPORT DEAR CAMPUS PRIDE SUPPORTER, 1 5 On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and our volunteers, I am excited to share the Campus Pride 2015 Annual Report highlighting our work and achievements this past year. 0 As the founder and the executive director of Campus Pride, I appreciate the tireless dedication and passion of our numerous volunteers who support our programs and 2 services. This year was another year of success as the premier national organization serving LGBTQ youth across the country. In 2015, Campus Pride continued to build our capacity and organizational strength. We moved into new offices and relocated our annual Summer Leadership Academy, “Camp Pride”, to our home of Charlotte, NC. In addition, Campus Pride was a key player in advocating for the passage of the local city nondiscrimination ordinance protecting LGBTQ ANNUAL REPORT citizens. Campus Pride also served as an advocate nationally, authoring a letter to the Common App on the inclusion of optional LGBTQ identity questions on college admission forms. Our Student Leader Network witnessed another year of growth along with a vibrant social media presence. Lastly, our website clearinghouse of resources, including our scholarship database, Trans Policy Clearinghouse, Campus Pride Index and Campus Pride Sports Index witnessed a 20% increase in traffic overall compared to the prior year. CAMPUS PRIDE Campus Pride ended 2015 serving 1,400-plus colleges and universities, which included a diverse array of public, private, 2-year and 4-year campuses. Our online tools and resources assisted student leaders, faculty, staff and administrators at these campus communities in creating safer learning environments and developing LGBTQ-friendly policies, programs and practices.

  • The Next Dimension in Public Relations Campaigns
    The Next Dimension in Public Relations Campaigns: A Case Study of the It Gets Better Project Public Relations Journal Vol. 7, No. 2, 157-186 Special Issue: Diversity in Public Relations ISSN 1942-4604 1 © 2013 Public Relations Society of America By Jamie A. Ward University of Michigan, Dearborn Abstract This study examines the ways in which a campaign that is completely reliant on user-generated content (UGC) can not only successfully engage a diverse public but also maintain value and legitimacy while serving as the basis for motivating individuals to take action. Guided in part by the theory of network-enabled commons-based peer production, this study posits that by crafting a public relations campaign using authentic voice in conjunction with YouTube, public relations practitioners can empower individuals to become active participants in advocacy campaigns for social justice or the common good of society, thus creating unique, individual connections with their publics and essentially empowering others to use their voices to help these campaigns reach critical mass. To illustrate the success of such a campaign, an in-depth, critical case study of the It Gets Better Project, is conducted. 1 Address correspondence to Jamie Ward, University of Michigan – Dearborn, 4901 Evergreen Rd., Dearborn, Michigan 48128; Email: [email protected]. Ward – Public Relations Journal – Vol. 7, No. 2, 2013 – 158 The Next Dimension in Public Relations Campaigns: A Case Study of the It Gets Better Project The decline of traditional media outlets coupled with the advent of social media has forced public relations practitioners to continually search for innovative ways to connect with various publics.

There is no one who deserves more thanks than my wife, Megan Kocher, without whom I would not have been able to balance the different parts of my life during an incredibly demanding six years. The professors who served on my committee have each provided specific and invaluable insights at all stages of research and analysis, and I am thankful for the expertise of Vichet Chhuon, Timothy Lensmire, and J.B. Mayo. As an adviser, Thomas Swiss was invaluable in righting my course when I got lost in the weeds of my own making. I owe a similar debt of gratitude to many of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health’s faculty and staff over time, who were patient and encouraging mentors, especially Mary Ellen Nerney, Sue Borowick, and Joe Mayo-Cullen. I am appreciative of the colleagues who made my professional development leave possible; the SPH faculty who provided me letters for my leave, James Begun, Rhonda Jones- Webb, and Susan Telke; and the administration for providing me with that invaluable time.

  • Obama Administration Record for the LGBT Community
    Obama Administration Record for the LGBT Community “Every single American -- gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgender -- every single American deserves to be treated equally in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of our society. It’s a pretty simple proposition.” -President Barack Obama, October 1, 2011 President Obama values every American, and his Administration has made historic strides to expand opportunity, advance equality, honor differences and level the playing field for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people and communities. The President’s efforts have included major legislative achievements such as the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” as well as significant administrative actions in support of equality. The Obama Administration’s record in support of the LGBT community includes: Repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: The President signed the bill to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell on December 22, 2010, putting in motion the end of a discriminatory policy that ran counter to our values as Americans. As of September 20, 2011, when the repeal took effect, gay, lesbian, and bisexual Americans can serve openly in our Armed Forces and without fear of losing their jobs for who they are and who they love. Ending the Legal Defense of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA): In February 2011, the President and Attorney General announced that the Department of Justice would no longer defend Section 3 of DOMA against equal protection constitutional challenges brought by same-sex couples married under state law. In July 2011, the White House announced the President’s support of the Respect for Marriage Act, introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Jerrold Nadler, which would repeal DOMA and uphold the principle that gay and lesbian couples should receive the same Federal rights and legal protections as straight couples.

Our Vision As a gateway to lifelong education, NDSU is an inclusive community that thrives on diversity and actively embraces the unique contributions of all people.

Our History The Safe Zone Ally Program at NDSU was launched in May 2001 with an inaugural ally training session for approximately 70 students, faculty, staff, and administrators. In response to incidents of hate speech that were perpetrated against the Ten Percent Society student organization in the fall of 2000, a small group of faculty, staff and administrators at NDSU developed this comprehensive training program.
