Support the NYU LGBTQ+ Emergency Fund
For the past 25 years, the NYU LGBTQ+ Center has been a critical resource for our LGBTQ+ and ally students, faculty, staff, and alumni by providing student groups, education and development opportunities, leadership programs, policy and practice development, consultation, and support. For many, the Center has not only been a resource and space for finding community, but has played a vital role in strengthening the larger NYU community and its efforts to be more inclusive and equitable.
Research and experience indicates that LGBTQ+ students are more susceptible to unforeseen emergencies and life-impacting situations because of how they identify in terms of their gender and sexuality. Often, experiences derived from an individual’s LGBTQ+ identity mean loss of support systems, whether from families, friends, or larger institutions. The Greg Albanis (WSC ’78, Wagner ’80) and Richard Harrison LGBTQ+ Student Emergency Fund supports NYU students who are in immediate need of financial support.
