The LGBT Resource Center is full of students listening in to an Open Door Discussion presentation

Approximately four times each semester, the Rainbow Resource Center hosts Open Door Discussions (ODDs). These student-led presentations cover an LGBTQ-related topic and then encourage dialogue with participants. All GVSU students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend! ODDs are INT 100/201 approved, so students can attend and participate for class credit. Open Door Discussion are engaging, informative, and fun! We hope you can join us.
