Display Hosts: Oregon Quilt Displays • University of Oregon LGBT Education Support Services
Display Host: Oregon Quilt Displays - Since 1993, organizations in Oregon have hosted 72 Quilt displays featuring 2,131 Quilt sections, bringing the beauty and power of the Quilt to communities throughout the state. One such display in 2016 was hosted by the Aurora Presbyterian Church which featured several sections of the Quilt as part of the Old Aurora Colony 44th Annual Quilt Show. According to the Portland Society Page, some of the featured blocks were created by local quilters. This virtual display features some of those blocks and honoring lives lost to AIDS who have a connection to Oregon.
Display Host: University of Oregon LGBT Education Support Services - The LGBT Education and Support Services (LGBTESS) at University of Oregon was founded in 1933, prompted by student activism and community organizing. Our mission is to provide education and support that enhances the academic and personal growth of LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff, while striving for the creation of a campus climate that is free from homophobia, heterosexism, and gender bias, and allows unrestricted access to and full involvement in our campus community. Our center engages community building, student development, health and well-being, cultural identity, and leadership through centering the diverse lives of LGBTQIA+ people.
