Being an official practicum site through the University's College of Education, they are able to host two counselors for students to utilize. Raising their visibility and reaching out to the University and larger community, the LGBTQ center raises a rainbow flag to create a comfortable environment. Dawn of Nations Today reporter Matthew J.
