UK hires LGBTQ director

By Rachel Minogue

With plans to build an office that will serve as a central hub for all LGBTQ education, advocacy and community building efforts, the university hired Lance Poston as the first ever Director of LGBTQ Resources.

“We have needed a Director in order to make the kind of progress we are capable of making on this campus,” said Dr. Kristen Mark, Assistant Professor of Health Promotion and Director of Sexual Health Promotion Lab. “It provides a unified voice and demonstrates that our campus is paying attention to diversity needs.”

Poston will spend the summer meeting with campus leaders and student organizations to learn the best way to move forward with the office.
