LGBTQ Student Services

In This Section

LGBTQ Student Services, which is housed under the Intercultural Resource Center, strives to create an inclusive and safe, but brave campus for students, faculty, and staff who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Pansexual, Intersex, or Two-Spirit. Throughout the academic year, we offer events, programs, and training designed to educate our campus about the unique history  and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, while also raising awareness about the needs and challenges LGBTQ+ students face locally and nationally.  If you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community or identify as an LGBTQ+ ally, visit our office hours and learn about how to get involved on campus.
