Current Members of the University's Committee on Sexual Orientation

The University's Committee on Sexual Orientation (UCOSO) is comprised of a diverse group of faculty, staff, and students. To ensure the entire spectrum of the university is represented, some members of the UCOSO are appointed to represent their "constituency" and act as their voice. In addition to student representation, faculty, professional administration, and civil service employees are also represented on the UCOSO.

To complement the full-time members listed below, several adjunct members are available to present educational seminars and workshops to classes and organizations. If you would like to become a member of the UCOSO, contact Cathy Couza at the numbers listed below. We are especially interested in more faculty representation.

UCOSO tragically lost a member of our community, Marshall Parks, on December 9, 2006. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends in the loss of this caring person.
