Lavender Programming Board
About
What is Lavender Programming Board (LPB)?
LPB is the University of Delaware’s largest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQQIA) student-run organization. It is a University-funded and student-run club. LPB’s meetings and events are geared towards members of the LGBTQ community and host events celebrating queerness. Anyone, including but not limited to students and faculty of the University of Delaware, is welcome to come.
When are your meetings?
To learn about more about when our meetings are, please reach out to the Director of Communications, Alexis Forston, at aforston@udel.edu or to our official email at lpbatud@gmail.edu.
What do you do at your meetings?
We do a lot of fun activities such as paint nights and jeopardy as well as having discussions that relate to queer topics. We also keep you up to date on what’s going on around the campus, in terms of fun and safe things to do. There is much socializing and fun had by all.
Will I be the only one there if I come?
Rest assured, you will NOT be the only person there. If you feel uncomfortable about coming, you can contact one of the officers, and they can set you up with an informal meeting with one of our members, so if you decide to come, you will know someone and not feel left out.
Why should I come to a LPB meeting?
Everyone has a different reason for coming to our meetings. Some come to meet people just like them so they don’t feel so alone on campus. Some come because it’s a fun way of staying informed about LPB events. Others come because it’s one hour a week when they can be whoever they want to be.
How can I get more information about LPB?
You can email any of our board members, whose email addresses are available on our contact page. Additionally, you can subscribe to our mailing list by becoming a member of LPB on Student Central! Or directly subscribing to our mailing list here.
