Lock Haven University will host an interactive program entitled “What’s Your Gay Point Average?” This program, sponsored by the President’s Commission on LGBT Affairs, will feature Shane Windmeyer, M.S., Ed., a nationally-known gay author and campus organizer. “What’s Your Gay Point Average” will take place on Tuesday, April 3, 7:00 pm in the Hamblin Hall of Flags. A reception will be held at 6:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public.

Shane L. Windmeyer is a leading author on gay campus issues, national leader in gay and lesbian civil rights and a champion for LGBT issues on college campuses. He is cofounder and executive director of Campus Pride, the only national organization for student leaders and campus organizations working to create a safer college environment for LGBT students. Windmeyer is the author of “The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students,” released in the fall of 2006, the first-ever college guide profiling the “100 Best LGBT-Friendly Campuses.” He is also the editor of “Brotherhood: Gay Life in College Fraternities” and co-editor of the books “Inspiration for LGBT Students & Allies,” and “Out on Fraternity Row: Personal Account.”

“What’s Your Gay Point Average?” is an interactive, high impact program that destroys stereotypes, deepens understanding and compels participants to take the next step in coming out as visible allies and leaders for all people regardless of sexual orientation.
