14. • Celebration! Good work getting through a
wild ride of a year.
• To honor our queer and ally members on
campus, and our Kidder Award winners!
• To learn about the history of Pride and
Pancakes, and those who helped make it
possible!
� Let’s take a look back… 14

15. • A landmark court case took place between
members of the UNH Gay Students
Organization and a lawyer for the university.
• Against bigoted arguments of communicable
mental illness and corrupting other students,
the GSO won its right to exist as a student
org on campus.

16. • In 1975, Meldrim Thomson Jr, then-governor of New
Hampshire, issued a warning to UNH that unless gay student
groups were banned, the university would lose its state
funding.
• NHPTV hosted an auction to win a pancake breakfast at the
home of Thomson, which the GSO fundraised for.
• UNH’s Gay Students Organization put in a final bid and
appeared to have won their audience with Governor
Thomson. Post-auction, the GSO was outbid through
deceptive means.
16

17. • 1975 UNH got its first tenured, out professor,Prof.
of English Jean Kennard!
• 1988 sexual orientation is included in UNH’s
nondiscrimination policy.
• 1989 the first faculty and staff group to discuss
queer issues is formed.
• 1991 the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs,
OMSA, is created!
17

18. • In 1992…
• The first Pride and Pancakes breakfast is
held!
• Sexual orientation is added to the USNH
non-discriminatory clause.
• Stan Levy is hired to report on campus
climate for gays and lesbians and
recommends appointing a special advisor
and task force on GL issues.
18

19. • In 1993,
• First queer month is celebrated at UNH.
• Our own Dean Cari Moorhead both brings the
very first Safe Zones workshop preparing
community to support LGBTQ+ members to
UNH, and co-founds Seacoast Outright, the
first support group for queer youth in NH!
• 1994 Safe Zones is released and the UNH Field
Hockey team becomes first athletic team to
participate.
19

20. • 1999 request for same-sex domestic benefits is
approved by the full Board of Trustees.
• 2000 Queer Studies is established as an
emphasis within Women's’ Studies.
• 2004 the first gender-inclusive bathrooms on
campus open.
20

21. • In 2013, a major victory was celebrated when for
the first time, the governor of New Hampshire
attended our pancake breakfast!
• Our Campus Pride index rates an impressive
4.5/5!
• Improvements continue to be made, such as
adding chosen names into Banner and support for
trans healthcare.

Luke’s passion for social justice and working with fellow students is
vibrant and inspiring.Luke is constantly thirsting to grow and
develop.They are consistently looking for ways to educate
themselves in areas that are ever changing.Luke has dedicated so
much of their time and energy to making UNH a better place for
everyone to feel welcomed and included.
They play a critical role in educating the community on combating
bias related to homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism, cissexism
and helping folks become better aspiring allies.Luke has worked
diligently to create updated curriculum and inspire new ways for
the Safe Zones program to become tailored to specific
communities at UNH through an intersectional framework.
Luke also works hard to recruit and incentivize volunteer student
facilitators that sustain the program as well as increased the
engagement of UNH community through social media platforms.In
addition to the great work that Luke does for The Beauregard
Center and Safe Zones they also serve as the Chairperson for the Student Activities Fee Committee and Dean’s
Ambassador for the College of Health and Human Services.

Morgan worked on the Trans Doe Task Force, a trans-led organization
focused on identifying victims of violent crime. Importantly, she has
helped build an LGBTQ+ focused database and done deep archival
research on forensic cases involving trans and non-binary decedents.
She serves as a member of Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority Inc. at
UNH. DXP is the only ‘multicultural sorority’ on campus with many
members who identify as queer and/or gender-variant. Morgan works
with the community relations chair to organize social events to
create, maintain, and build upon our sisterhood and friendship as well
as the advancement of women through higher education, increasing
multicultural awareness, and community service.
Morgan also interned at Prevention Innovations Research Center
helping spread resources across the UNH campus, such as the
uSafeUS app, and she has worked with Planned Parenthood and
Summer of H.E.R on addressing the global gag rule and expand
knowledge and resources around sexual health and policy to marginalized groups, like people of color and
the LGBTQ+ community.

Sarah worked with other graduate students to reinstate
Stonewall Grads as an officially recognized student
organization on campus.
She has managed to continue the monthly meetings in a
virtual setting.She is helping LGBTQIA+graduate students
stay in touch with each other through a mix of activities.
With Sarah's consistent help and advice, we were able to
retain a robust and active Graduate Student Senate that
still managed to do outreach via social media, help
organize events, communicate with other governing
bodies on campus, and advocate for the broader graduate
community on topics such as Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

Professor Cavicchi has long been an out, proud and active
member of the LGBT+community.This he has done as an
activist in his personal life, as a practicing attorney, and, most
important, as a teacher and mentor at the law school.
His work on behalf of the LGBT+community informs his
service as a law faculty member.Indeed, what makes
Professor Cavicchi deserving is that he has been an
outstanding role model to LGBT+law students over the last
three decades.
A lot has changed over the last thirty years.It was not easy to
be an out-LGBT person when Professor Cavicchi joined the
law faculty, but there he was (and still is):a mentor and
resource to LGBT law students looking for representation on
the faculty.
