Emory University President James Wagner contributed a video message through the It Gets Better Project which offers hope to those who face bullying and harassment.
The campaign started last year following the suicides of several gay teens and aims to support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. Celebrities and other well-known figures, including President Barack Obama, have submitted videos.
In the video, Wagner said that while the university is not a perfect community, people do not need to face their problems alone.
Wagner described Emory's vision of being a diverse institution and said "regardless of whether you are male or female, transgender, irrespective of national, ethnic or racial heritage, whether you are gay or lesbian, straight or queer, whether you adhere to a religious faith or not, you have a place at Emory."
