Center Directory versus Membership Directory:

The Consortium Directory of staffed LGBT centers/offices is based on a campus supporting a graduate student or staff member at least 50% time doing LGBT-specific work. If your campus has created a new position, please contact the Membership Chair at membership@lgbtcampus.org to be added to the Directory.

A Membership Directory of Consortium members went live in 2009.
