THE ADVOCATE COLLEGE GUIDE FOR LGBT STUDENTS |
By Shane L. Windmeyer, M.S., Ed.
Shane L. Windmeyer, national LGBT campus authority and founder of Campus PrideNet, has created the first comprehensive guide that lists the best 100 colleges and universities for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students. This book has grown out of Campus Pride’s groundbreaking youth mobilizing efforts as the only national network for LGBT college student leaders and campus organizations.
Based on student demand, this invaluable new resource profiles the top 100 LGBT-friendly higher education institutions in the United States. With the basics on academic programs, student life, tuition, and campus contacts, this essential guide features critical information to help you select a campus, with details on: |
| • Student Groups |
| • Out Students, Faculty, and Staff |
| • Housing |
| • LGBT Studies Courses |
| • Gay-Friendly Resources on Campus |
| • Social Scene |
|
THE ADVOCATE COLLEGE GUIDE FOR LGBT STUDENTS is the product of nearly 5,000 online interviews with LGBT students and 500 online interviews with faculty and staff from campuses across the country. Not only does the guide rank the best LGBT campuses, but for the first time, you also hear the reasons why from the experts themselves—LGBT college students. |

| “Shane L. Windmeyer has given voice to the true experts of college life: the students themselves, who share what it’s like to be queer on their campuses. That means a lot less guesswork for LGBT high-school seniors getting ready to head off to college. To top it off, the guide’s tips and resources provide ample inspiration for student activists and educators who want to continue pushing the envelope to ensure complete LGBT-inclusivity on campus. Bravo!” |
