UT Dallas was one of only two universities in the Southwest and 40 in the U.S. to make Campus Pride’s 2022 Best of the Best list. “The leadership Matthew Winser-Johns and his team have shown in advancing equity for our LGBTQ+ campus community is exemplary,” Pearson said. “The LGBTQ+ community at UT Dallas is so incredible, resilient and strong. I’m continually proud of our campus community for everyone’s commitment to affirming all LGBTQ+ people in their work, classroom and activities,” Winser-Johns said. In June, BestColleges, in partnership with Campus Pride, ranked UT Dallas the 14th-best college in the nation for LGBTQ+ students.
