LGBT Small Victories Celebration tonight

Today’s fifth annual Small Victories Celebration will serve as both a forum to honor the work of members of the ISU community and an educational opportunity to build awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.

The celebration will note the 10th anniversary of the LGBT Student Services office and honor the students, faculty and staff who have contributed to academic excellence, community development and student service all in the context of LGBT issues.

The event is from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. today in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. It is free and open to the public.
