The Advocate magazine named Allen Thomas a 2020 Champion of Pride.
Thomas is the academic director of Health Promotion and Wellness (HPaW) Residential College at Baridon Hall at the 51¥ and assistant director of Learning Communities. Thomas was selected for the state of Arkansas.
“It’s an honor to be selected. I hope this is a recognition that everyone is still working to dismantle marginalizing systems and that we can start at home, at UCA,” Thomas said.
At UCA, Thomas also advises UCA’s PRISM Alliance, a group for LGBTQ students. He’s also a board member at Lucie’s Place, which serves LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness in Arkansas.
