Several BGLTSA executives said Muhammad was their first queer contact at Harvard and frequently participated in the alliance's community meetings.
"The fact is we've lost one of the most active BGLT tutors," said Jeffrey P. Morgan '02.
Muhammad founded a queer film series at Mather and started a first-year sexuality discussion group when he was a first-year proctor.
Baldwin, who said she first met Muhammad at the first-year discussion series, said the tutor is "one of the most visible queer authority figures" on campus.
