Queer Peer Services Home

Queer Peer Services (QPS) has been established in order to:

  • Advocate for the queer community which includes lesbians, gays, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, intersex, queer, questioning, and allied students, faculty, and staff.
  • Create a safe, diverse, nonjudgmental environment where queer individuals can feel comfortable being themselves.
  • Educate the campus community about queer issues, including the deconstruction of stereotypes, as to invoke a sense of empathy in those who do not identify as queer.
  • Act as a liaison between the students and the administration on issues of diversity and bias-related incidents.
  • Support and facilitate a support group for queer individuals struggling with any issues they may face as a result of their personal identity.
  • Encourage dialogue between diverse peoples as to foster a more deeply-connected community.
  • Inspire within individuals a sense of both personal pride and political passion that students will be able to carry with them in all future endeavors.
