Attending the North Carolina Gay & Lesbian Film Festival? Please make plans to attend this inaugural reception hosted by the Duke Heritage Society and the Office of Gift Planning!

Gather with friends and learn about a few of the ways that Duke is active with and supportive of its LGBTQ student and alumni community:

Bernadette Brown, the new director of Duke’s Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity, will be introduced.

Laura Micham, Merle Hoffman Director of the Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture and the Curator of Gender and Sexuality History Collections for the Rubenstein Library, will provide a brief look at the Rubenstein’s notable LGBTQ history and culture collections. Many of these collections were used in the Libraries’ recent exhibit, “Queering Duke History.”

Kristen Brown Smalley of the Office of Gift Planning will share more about Duke’s activities in the LGBTQ community and our growing affinity network across the country.
