Catalyst Awards

Catalyst Awards are awarded to community members who work to help the local LGBTQ Community.

These individuals are the ones who speak up, out, and often on behalf of the LGBTQ community. Catalyst recipients are nominated by their peers, selected by a committee, then presented with the award annually during MU Pride Month.
