The Closet

Located in the Rainbow Room (Bryan Complex), The Closet is a clothing program for LGBTIQA+, non-binary, and other students who are in need of no-cost options to better reflect their gender identity and expression. The Closet program provides a series of workshops and master classes for LGBTIQA+ and traditional gender non-conforming students and for straight allies who would like to promote body positivity.

  • focus on getting comfortable with your identity, body, and sexuality 
  • work on creating a personal image 
  • get valuable tips on being yourself 

All are welcome. Interested in wearing a dress or a suit and tie? This is a space for everyone who would like to express themselves and to explore identities.
