ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, which has also been recognized as among the 'best of the best' LGBTQ-friendly universities by Campus Pride, ranks 5th in the latest College Consensus list.
​
ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ has again been recognized as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly colleges and universities in the country.
College Consensus, which combines a variety of college rankings with real student interviews from around the web, ranked ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ 5th among its 25 LGBTQ-friendly colleges and universities list this year.
In its assessment of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, College Consensus noted the work of the university's Gender & LGBTQIA Center to promote tolerance and inclusion. College Consensus notes that the center provides students "a chance to feel valued, validated and victorious while attending ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, and in their lives," noting the "3 Vs" of the Gender & LGBTQIA Center.
College Consensus also noted the university's robust LGBTQIA Alumni association and student activities such as a student-produced documentary that was screened last year at the N.C. Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the second-largest LGBTQ film festival in the Southeast.
In September, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ was recognized by Campus Pride, a national advocacy group, as one of the top 30 American colleges and universities for policies, programs and practices that are friendly to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students.
