Events

Throughout the year, the Women’s Center & LGBTQ+ Services organizes educational and social events to enrich the student college experience. Signature events include observations of Queer & Trans History Month, Trans Days of Remembrance and Self-Care, World AIDS Day, Women’s Herstory Month, and Pride Month. In the fall, we host Pridefest and in the spring we present The Vagina Monologues and hold our Lavender Ceremony for graduating LGBTQ+ students. We also offer Zine Nights and a Feminist Book Club.

Upcoming Events

Community Discussion Groups

Our weekly community discussion groups, led by students for students with shared identities, are safer spaces that, through nuanced conversations, promote empowerment and education, validation and support, as well as connection and belonging.

All groups are trans inclusive and welcoming to those questioning their gender and/or sexual identity. In the spirit of practicing good allyship, please only attend a group if you identify within its community.
