In addition to providing mentoring and peer support to LGBTQ+ community members at UNMC & Nebraska Medicine, our activities aim to promote the well-being of LGBTQ+ faculty, students, and staff, as well as to facilitate on-campus educational efforts regarding LGBTQ+ issues.

Membership to the group is open and encouraged for all UNMC and Nebraska Medicine employees. Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community or one of our supporters, all are welcome!
