Cornell established the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Resource Office in 1994 to serve
the entire campus community: students, staff, and faculty. In the Spring of 1998,
its name changed to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center. Susie Lerner
(1994-1995), Carlisle Douglas (1995-1998), and Gwendolyn Dean (1998-2008) have led
the office as coordinators or director.
Files on the establishment of the Resource Office in 1994-1995; annual and monthly

review in the spring of 1997, the name change in 1998, a file on hate mail and acts
