- An increased comfort level in addressing concepts and language regarding LGBTQ+ communities with the university community and with individuals.
- An increased awareness of services on campus that support LGBTQ+ and allied individuals.
- A network of community and campus staff, faculty, and students to support people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions on campus.
