LGBTQ Community Leadership Award

Each spring the LGBTQ Center recognizes a graduating senior (May or December) who has positively affected lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and questioning life during their undergraduate years at Brown. The LGBTQ Community Leadership Award, which is presented annually, includes a prize funded by the Brown LGBTQ Alumni Group TBGALA and the Brown Alumni Association. 

The award recipient(s) will have accomplished one or more of the following: 

  • Improved campus climate and/or the undergraduate experience for LGBTQ community members.
  • Fostered collaborations among the diverse facets of Brown's LGBTQ communities. 
  • Promoted communication and collaboration between Brown's LGBTQ communities and other non-LGBTQ communities on campus. 
  • Bridged the gap between LGBTQ communities at Brown and LGBTQ communities in the greater Providence area.
