Summer Seminar Series is back! Join Special Collections & Archives staff as we talk about what we know best, our collections.

In this July 2021 talk, Community and Student Life Archivist Aiden Bettine delves into the history of the first LGBTQ student organization to be sanctioned by a university in the United States, Gay Liberation Front at the University of Iowa. From the 1971 homecoming parade to the modern-day Spectrum UI, this organization has a long legacy on our campus and in Iowa City.
