In 1992 a University-wide group of faculty and deans formed the University of Michigan Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Faculty Alliance (UMFA). The Alliance helps to address the needs of new faculty, providing them with social support on their arrival and with advice and support for scholarly work on lesbian and gay issues. The group also works on University policies and curriculum and helps meet the needs of students. Each fall the group holds an annual reception.
