LGBTQIA+ Resources
You don’t have to come out to come in!
Welcome to the Center for Women, Gender & Sexuality LGBTQIA+ Resource page! Please take some time to navigate around our pages for a variety of resources, contacts, programs, and support. Also, we hope you will visit our center in the Campus Center, Suite 207. Whether online or in person, our center is a place for everyone to explore their own and others’ identities. We invite you to join in the exploration.
Whether you are out, coming out, in-between, questioning, or exploring your gender identity, we have professional staff able to help you.
Programming
The Center organizes LGBTQIA+ History Month, National Coming Out Day, Transgender Awareness Week and an annual LGBTQIA+ Youth Symposium for high school students and allies.
Gender-inclusive restrooms
As of this date, we have over 30 gender inclusive bathrooms throughout campus. You can find them on the campus map.
