SIGN UP FOR LAVENDER LLC THIS WEEK OR THE PROGRAM WILL BE CANCELLED! It took a long time to establish this, even though LGBTQ+ living learning communities are the norm at universities across the country. Today, the deadline was moved to fill the program, and it will be cancelled if spots aren’t filled by tomorrow afternoon. We don’t know why the deadline was moved. Don’t let that happen. It’s okay if you already signed up for student housing; sign up for this, and you will be released from your student housing contract for free. Please share!! #olemiss #lgbtqsouth #universityofmississippi https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6MjjCuFG4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
