The LGBTQ+ Center provides a welcoming, creatively inspiring and safe space for students, faculty and staff who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, queer, intersex or allies. Since our founding in 2009 by the One in Ten Committee (a group of students, faculty and staff), the Center’s goal has been to empower our LGBTQ+ campus family by creating cultural awareness, community connections and learning opportunities. To that end, we offer resources, programming, referrals and support services as well as trainings and workshops for the entire campus community.
The LGBTQ+ Center has a new home. We are located on the first floor of Barrows Hall. Come through the front door and then buzz to be let in.
