Biographical / Historical:

The Wells College Lesbian Bisexual Alliance was a diverse group of lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual women united by the commitment to bring issues affecting the community to the forefront of campus activity. The community encompassed a variety of individuals with diverse ethnic/racial, religious, class and national backgrounds. Their purpose was two-fold: visibility and support. They defined visibility as a commitment to bring issues of sexual orientation into all area of college life from programming to curriculum and support as the continued presence of an alliance of students, faculty and administration dedicated to providing a safe space for lesbians, bisexuals and questioning women. Since issues of sexuality occur in every facet of life and cover a wide range of topics, they met the needs through coalitions with other groups on the Wells College campus.
