These efforts include but are not limited to: 1) Working to establish an informed and civically engaged LGBTQIA community at UMKC. 2) Actions to educate the non-LGBTQIA community on the daily experiences of the LGBTQIA community at UMKC or the local community. 3) Efforts to educate, inform, and engage the UMKC community about the intersecting identities that make up the UMKC LGBTQIA community. If selected as an LGBTQIA Leadership Scholar, recipients will need to demonstrate continued involvement in a number of campus or community engagement opportunities.
