Description: Personal statement: "In the past four months that we have been dating, we have felt an outpouring of love and support from our LGBT+ family on campus. The LGBT Resource Office has been a safe haven for us as we have explored our sexuality and found our identities. Through these experiences we have been able to establish ourselves as a loving couple. We both have turbulent relationships with our nuclear families, thus the Resource Office has become a place of refuge and our “new” family home." Eric Hickerson is a sophomore with a Chemistry and Anthropology double major and Mary-Kathryn Holmes is a senior majoring in Political Science major with a minor in English.
