LGBTQ Assistance and Resources

There are many resources available for LGBTQ individuals and those who consider themselves within the gender and sexual minority community. Many departments within the university are sensitive to LGBTQ issues and are trained to handle them appropriately and effectively. There are also resources available for the LGBTQ community in the surrounding area.

We all have to start somewhere with learning, so why not start at some of the basics.

Please explore the links below for some information about the LGBTQ+ community. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the LGBTQ+ Center for more information.  Please consider signing up for an official Safe Space Ally Training, which is presented through the Training Lab of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in collaboration with the LGBTQ+ Center.

Terminology List

Basic LGBTQ+ vocabulary can be hard to understand and all around confusing. The Center has created this list to help individuals understand some of the basic terminology as well as to help you expand on some terminology that you may not have known before. Please check out the terminology list by clicking the link above.
