Rose received the Voice Action Award and was the featured guest speaker at the closing dinner graduation ceremony of Campus Pride's Summer Leadership Camp in Charlotte, N.C.

Rose delivered her keynote "Pathways to Equality: Frontiers of LGBT Advocacy" to 60 LGBT and ally student leaders from across the United States and Canada.

"Donna Rose is well-deserving of this honor. She embodies inclusion and diversity ... and has utilized her voice to build bridges, ignite change, and create dialogue inside our movement, which will only serve to make us stronger," said Shane Windmeyer, executive director of Campus Pride, in the release. "Donna ensures all voices are heard -- including our young adult leaders -- who often tokenized and forgotten."

The Campus Pride Summer Leadership Camp, the only one of its kind in the nation, started this past Saturday, July 19, and ends Thursday, July 24. It blends traditional camp activities with a curriculum of skill building in leadership development, social justice, and civic involvement.
