In September, 2010, a panel discussion was held on the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. In February, 2011, a reception was held at Oakhurst - the MSU President's home - for LGBT students and allies. During March, 2011, "Prayers for Bobby" was shown on-campus with an open discussion led by local religious leaders. Fall, 2011 brought Dr. Marissa Richmond to campus. Dr. Richmond is President of the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition and a faculty member at Middle Tennessee State University. Also in the fall, the MSU community took part in "Research & Action: Religious-Based Bigotry on College Campuses" and "Coming Out as an Ally: From Bystanders to Upstanders" webinars through Campus Pride.
