Description
This research project was to create a Weblog to serve as a resource for students in the Business Law 452 class and was designed in conjunction with MSU's LGBTQQA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and allied individuals) center during the Spring 2006 semester. After conclusion of the class, the blog will be maintained and updated by the LGBTQQA center for their use in communicating with the LGBTQQA and MSU communities. This blog has served as a forum for discussion and resolution of issues in our campus community. We have created the foundation for a service learning project with the LGBTQQA center on campus, focusing on affinity orientation in the workplace, government institutions, and educational facilities. Our resources, with the assistance of the LGBT center, have included documentaries, legal websites, personal interviews, and other resources. This blog was styled to be an open communication forum. Any person could write to the blog editor in the question box, and all inquiries have been answered within 48 hours. We welcomed any other resources or contributions. In the long term, we hope this blog will become an asset to Minnesota State University. Our priority in creating and developing this blog was not only for one class, but as an outreach to the entire MSU population.
