David Bohnett CyberCenter The UCSB Resource Center for Sexual & Gender Diversity is very pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the David Bohnett CyberCenter in May, 2005. Housed in the Rainbow Lounge, the CyberCenter was made possible by a grant from the David Bohnett Foundation for almost $14,000. We are very grateful to the Foundation for their generous support! CyberCenter
Grand Opening
In 1994, David Bohnett founded GeoCities, a successful Internet-based media and e-commerce company acquired by Yahoo! in 1999. In the course of his career, Bohnett became keenly aware of what the Internet can contribute toward facilitating change. He has made it the mission of the foundation established in his name to ensure that the LGBT community is well positioned to leverage the transformative power of the Web.

of Operation: |
The
David Bohnet CyberCenter at UCSB
includes three state-of-the-art
IBM computers, a laser printer, and scanner. The CyberCenter
will provide lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer,
and intersex (LGBTQI) students and their allies with comfortable
and contemporary computer
workstations.
All
are located
in
the Rainbow
Lounge’s
safe space, which will encourage student use of targeted
resources such as online journals devoted to LGBTQI issues
and links
to community
organizing and advocacy information. These new workstations
will help 
improve
the campus climate for LGBTQI students—a
climate that national research confirms can be antagonistic
to lesbian,
gay, bisexual, and transgender students.
The David
Bohnett Foundation is a grant-making organization with a $30-million
endowment dedicated to improving society
through
social activism. The Foundation makes grants to national organizations
that focus their efforts in Southern California and to local
gay and lesbian centers across the country, for the creation
and support of David Bohnett CyberCenters.
