Friends and colleagues,
It is that time of year when we have the honor and joy to celebrate the
achievements of our LGBTQQIA and ally students. Please join us on Wednesday,
April 22 for UT's 4th annual Lavender Graduation. Our keynote speaker will be Mr.
Ed Patterson (UT '89). Patterson is an alumus of the College of Communication &
Information who majored in Journalism and Public Relations. Patterson is
committed creating a safe and welcoming space at UT for LGBTQQIA students. His
commitment and generosity was exemplified this spring when he became the
OUTreach Center's first $5000 donor in its 5 for Five campaign.
This year we also have the wonderful occasion of celebrating the 5th anniversary of
the OUTreach Center. Please join us for a brief ceremony in Melrose Courtyard just
prior to Lavender Graduation.
Please send this invitation to any students you may know who are graduating. If
you would like to sponsor a graduate, please consider a donation of $20.15.
With Pride,
Donna Braquet
OUTreach Center Director
