MURFREESBORO — The
next edition of the “MTSU On the Record” radio program will preview the
university’s inaugural LGBT+ College Conference.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with MTSU students Joshua Rigsby
and Elizabeth Villasana will air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, March 31, and from
8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, April 6, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Rigsby and Villasana are members of MT Lambda, the student
organization hosting the first statewide collegiate conference in Tennessee to
focus on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The gathering is
slated for April 10-12 with the theme of “The Advocate in You.”
Student organizations from more than 30 colleges and
universities along with corporate and community leaders are slated to be in
attendance.
“Our overall goal, with all of our sessions and all of the
speakers that we have lined up, is to equip students across the state with the
tools they need to go back and create a positive change on their individual
campuses,” said Rigsby, who is president of MT Lambda.
The conference will be the culmination of this year’s
SpringOut Pride Week at MTSU, an LGBT+ celebration with various events
scheduled for April 7-9.
MT Lambda has supported the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender community at MTSU since its founding in 1988. It is the oldest
collegiate student organization of its kind in Tennessee.
