Our Mission
The Office of LGBTQ+ Initiatives’ mission is to build a sense of belonging and provide support to everyone regardless of one's sexuality, gender identity and gender expression, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religious/spiritual/cultural background, ability etc.
The Queering Belonging Formula
We call our mission “Queering Belonging” Leadership = Allyship = Aspiration
Leadership
We support students to develop skills that prepare them to become effective social justice advocates, community organizers, and LGBTIQA+ ambassadors.
Allyship
Through collaborative projects and programming, we educate the community on 2SLGBTIQA+ issues and forge strong allyships with multiple constituents, providing our students with more avenues for their professional and personal development.
Aspiration
We encourage students to share their authentic selves with others. We empower those who are just beginning their journeys to self- authorship and agency. Through social and cultural mixers, workshops, fests, and celebrations, we affirm our intersectional identities and welcome allies to learn about — and support — the 2SLGBTIQA+ community.
