Rosemary Mulvey Named GLAAD Campus Ambassador

2017 Dec 4

Rosemary Mulvey, a student studying Anthropology at Ithaca College, was named a GLAAD campus ambassador. Mulvey will work with GLAAD and the local community to bring awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQ community.

"The role of GLAAD ambassadors is so vital," said Luca Maurer, program director of the Ithaca College Center for LGBT Education, Outreach and Services. "They amplify the experiences of students on college campuses. In doing so, they give voice to what we in the field already know: that LGBTQ+ inclusion is about so much more than sexual orientation and gender identity. It is about race, ethnicity, socioeconomic stats, faith, ability, immigration status and more."

This is the second year of GLAAD's campus ambassador program. Students are selected for the program based on their passion, involvement and creation of original content related to LGBTQ advocacy.

Mulvey attended GLAAD’s National Campus Ambassador Summit on Nov. 10-12 in Atlanta, Georgia. There, Mulvey was able to network with campus ambassadors from across the country and learn more about reaching out to local media organizations to pitch stories related to LGBTQ issues.
