SHADES@OU

We hope, by establishing such a pioneering organization on Ohio University's increasingly diverse campus, that SHADES will be able to help cultivate the minds, bodies, and souls of our members. By providing sanctuary and building a growing network of different individuals who share similar experiences living as SGL/LGBT people of color, we hope to raise the sense of self-worth, identity, and community in our members and inspire each and every one of them to take full pride in their "pride."
