I bet you didn’t know Ithaca College wasn’t my first school. It was actually Suffolk University in Boston. I transfered from Suffolk to Ithaca only after my Freshman year.

And…yes…I transfered back to Suffolk after my Sophomore year at Ithaca. I got a job opportunity in Boston I couldn’t refuse - and I didn’t want to stop my education - so I just moved it!

But in the end I ended up transfering back to Ithaca to finish out my last year and a half and become an official Ithaca graduate.

It took me six years. No I am not a doctor. Yes, I digress.

While back in Boston on my roadtrip I had the opportunity to interview John D’Agosta, the President of Suffolk University’s “Rainbow Alliance“, a student run LGBT group that services the school’s Boston location.

It was a great interview - I learned a good deal about gay life at Suffolk U (I was dating someone when I went there…you know how that goes), what his group works on, why he feels it’s important to have LGBT groups on college campuses, etc…

If you’d like to contact John you can do so through Suffolk University’s website - Suffok’s LGBT Organizations.

Coming up in Part 2 - John and I discuss things like the many LGBT students are deciding to come to school in MA because of its freedom to marry and how Suffolk students staged protests and an alternative graduation ceremony for LGBT students when they found out Governor Mitt Romney would be their commencement speaker,
