Faculty and Staff Resources
We're developing a list of community resources of LGBTQ+ friendly businesses and organizations in Tippecanoe County. Have you had a great experience with a local doctor, restaurant, church, or shop? Share any more businesses with us via email to help us compile a resource for new (and not so new) Purdue employees. Please include your contact info so we can reach you with any questions. Your name will NOT be associated with the resource list we compile and share.
We're in the process of merging our resources with the Pride Lafayette's Community Directory. If you don't find what you need on either list, please email us for assistance.
