Danielle Lane, a junior psychology major, wants to raise support for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community in Texas.

She got the opportunity to pursue her cause this spring when she was selected to attend the seventh Clinton Global Initiative University with full sponsorship from the American Association of University Women.

Held in March, the annual event was hosted by former President Bill Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea, to bring together innovative student leaders who submitted Commitment to Action projects in one of five focus areas: education, environment and climate change, peace and human rights, poverty alleviation, and public health. Lane's project focused on addressing the lack of support for members of the LGBTQ community in Texas.

Lane is the second UNT student to submit a Commitment to Action to the Clinton Global Initiative.
