Academics

The LGBT Campus Center engages in the University of Wisconsin's philosophy that the student services mission of the University be integrated into the academic mission of the University in order to achieve a holistic approach to student retention and success. The LGBT Campus Center works to further both missions by providing support services to students and academic services to the University community.

One way the LGBT Campus Center provides academic services is through its status as a member of the UW Library System; in addition, the LGBT Campus Center maintains close contact and collaborative relationships with faculty and academic staff.
