The ASEE LGBTQ+ Advocacy in STEM Virtual Community of Practice (VCP) was first launched in 2015 under NSF grant EEC-1539140. In early 2018, under new NSF grant EEC-1748499, we recruited new members to help expand our network and extend our impact. 

Our community members work together to promote LGBTQ+ inclusion at their institutions. Members identify context-specific strategies, share resources, develop and implement action plans, and identify best practices for transforming the climate in STEM.
