Mission: The Center for Gender & Sexual Diversity's Mentoring Program, Panthers Out Front, wants to promote the success of EIU students by introducing diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. This program helps students expand their potential as individuals and connect with other LGBTQA+ students, faculty, and staff at EIU in a friendly and confidential setting. Out Front will provide students with opportunities to become involved in creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for LGBTQA+ students on campus. Student mentors will gain valuable experience and skills that will help them as they continue their educational and work experience.
