Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Resource Center

Gay, straight, trans, bi, queer, questioning, gender benders, allies, and anything in between - if you have a question, together we'll find an answer. Come to your LGBT Resource Center for information, new friends, class resources, to volunteer, have fun, find quiet, support, answers, events, trainings, to watch a DVD, find your voice, and more! We strive to maintain an open and supportive environment for all. Our events are intended for everyone. That means YOU.

 

 

Mission Statement

Your Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Resource Center provides a comprehensive range of education, information, and advocacy services. We work to maintain and open, safe and supportive environment for all students, staff, faculty and the campus community.

Vision Statement

We recognize the intersections of gender and sexuality with the multiple identities we share such as race, ethnicity, age and culture. We choose to not merely tolerate, but respect and honor each individual. We hope to continue to build an inclusive campus community that is accepting of all people.
