Consortium 2020 AwardsThe community of LGBTQ higher education resource professionals is comprised of a vast array of dedicated individuals committed to enriching the lives and campus climates for LGBTQ people. It is only appropriate that we honor and recognize the labor of our colleagues and the sustainable impact that we all have at our institutions. Last year, the Consortium community recognized Warren Scherer, Jaimée Marsh, Romeo Jackson, Babyface Card, and Jamie Gonzales for their achievements in the work. These awards, presented at the 2019 Creating Change Conference in Detroit, MI, continue to mark milestones for the Consortium in its goal to recognize those who have, and who continue to create change. ---------------------------- Nominate someone for a 2020 Consortium Award by Friday, November 22, 2019. ---------------------------- This year we are excited to invite nominations for the following three 2020 Consortium awards: Dr. Sheltreese D.
