It was spring 2011 when Phil Dardeno ’02 and Meg Griffiths ’04 visited campus to attend a community conversation for LGBTQ students and alumni, an event requested by the students. Neither can recall where the event was, debating whether it was held in Rehm Library or on the third floor of Hogan Campus Center, with Griffiths jokingly calling them “unreliable narrators.” But what they both are sure of is there was a conversation about creating an alumni network for LGBTQ students and allies.
