LGBTQIA+ Alumni Network

The LGBTQIA+ Alumni Network (L+N) at UNC Charlotte was established by alumni to build a community, strengthen the bond among LGBTQIA+ alumni, faculty, staff, and advance current and future niners. This will provide a space where LGBTQIA+ alumni can explore and grow their professional and personal development through networking and community building. The network will work together to provide resources, community, and cultivate relationships with the different LGBTQIA+ student organizations on campus.

Ways to Get Involved

As alumni, we share a love of our alma mater, yet we relate to the University in our own personal ways. The UNC Charlotte Office of Alumni Engagement invites you to express interest in joining our LGBTQIA+ Alumni Network. All are welcome!

  • Volunteer: The LGBTQIA+ Alumni Network is looking for passionate and proud Charlotte Alumni who LGBTQIA+ community and allies to donate their time to helping host Lavender Graduation and planning L+N Alumni Engagement and Student Engagement events. 
  • Enthusiastic Supporter & Attendee: If you don’t have the time to volunteer but want to support the LGBTQIA+ Alumni Network, you can share information on L+N events and L+N supported scholarships to your networks, and when you can – register and attend L+N events!
  • Donate: The LGBTQIA+ Alumni Network supports The Nila and Stokley Bailey PFLAG Scholarship Endowment Fund. This scholarship was created in March 1995 with a gift from the late Harold A. Morris of Charlotte in memory of his late foster son, Gary, who died of AIDS-related complications in 1991. The scholarship seeks to recognize outstanding students who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community or who actively work within the community, and to encourage continuing education in order to foster a positive image of gay and lesbian people in society.
