description

Tré Smith (he/him), originally from Georgia, attended Wake Forest between 2009 and 2013 where he served as Student Body President in 2013. During this interview, Tré was working with Battle Born Collective, a progressive political organization. This interview focuses on the time surrounding the founding of Wake Forest's LGBTQ Center and the immediate impact of the Center itself. Easton highlights the charged political climate that inspired students to organize and advocate for the LGBTQ Center, along with the impact that its first (and at the time of this interview's only) Director had on campus. Importantly, Tré mentions how the Center matured queer organizing on campus and how the queer community changed due to the Center's presence on Wake Forest's Campus
