Biographical / historical:

The University Center for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Life was established in October 1994 as a result of the work done by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Task Force. The Center served as a supportive, safe, and inclusive space for LGBTQ life at Duke. In 1997, the Center changed its name to the Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Life. It became the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity (CSGD) in 2013. The mission of the CSGD is "to create an inclusive climate for students, staff, faculty, and almunx with marginalized sexual orientations, romantic orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions through education, advocacy, support, mentoring, academic engagement, and providing space."
