Center forGender Resources and Sexuality Equity

Community Voice & Action: We center and amplify the voices, lived experiences, and leadership of LGBTQIA+, women, and femme students, staff, and faculty, particularly Black and brown trans and queer revolutionaries who historically have and continue to lead the movement on LGBTQIA+ liberation. We develop student-centered spaces, programs, and resources.

Social Justice: We aim to foster a fully inclusive and equitable campus environment by catalyzing social and institutional change that affirms, nurtures, and celebrates the victories of LGBTQIA+ communities.

Intersectionality: We acknowledge the systemic barriers that have historically, and continue to, marginalize, exclude, and erase communities based on gender identity and sexual orientation, and particularly those at the intersection of race, immigration status, disability, caste, class, religion and spirituality, and other identities. We believe that striving for an equitable campus environment starts with intersectionality as the lens through which we develop and implement our programs.

Education: We provide education and resources with a historical and social analysis of oppressive systems, critical discourse of anti-racism, and principles of justice, strength-based model, and trauma-informed framework.

Leadership: We mobilize sense of power and agency for all students, regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation, to live authentically as well as engage knowledgeably and compassionately with regards to gender and sexuality.
