It is times like these that I am proud to call myself a Greyhound. The creation of the Stonewall Suites LLC shows UIndy’s dedication to making our university home for anyone that steps foot on campus. This LLC means the world to me and so many other students. It creates an open space for students a part of the LGBTQ+ community to be themselves and discover who they want to be. While I may be graduating and not get to take part in the LLC, I am proud to have made an impact that will help many students grow, prosper, and learn to love who they are!

Why an LLC?

Research has consistently shown that students who participate in a Living-Learning Community experience a higher level of success both socially and academically as compared to those who are not part of an LLC.
