What is Out in Higher Ed Week?

Out in Higher Ed Week is Point Foundation’s annual event highlighting LGBTQ+ and ally voices in higher education.

This year, we’re inviting our entire community—board members, scholars, alumni, educators, donors, and GSAs—to look forward, dream boldly, and shape the future of postsecondary education.

Every gift this week will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $12,000, thanks to Point Board of Trustees Member Celena Dyal and a generous anonymous donor!
