This is an empowering annual forum showcasing some the most influential LGBTQ+ and Ally change-makers of our time and creating an opportunity or you to engage in a variety of topics related to the LGBT+ community. Every Thursday night during the October, we will have a different program, speaker, or panel that will be discussing different aspects of LGBTQIAAP+ identities and lives.

LGBT Mentorship Program

Role models are so important, but we believe that the most powerful thing we can offer you as an LGBTQ+ or Ally student is a “possibility” model. Our mentorship program does just that, it connects students with LGBTQ+ and Ally faculty, staff, alumni, and community so that you see amazing LGBTQ+ people creating beautiful and successful lives and futures. This program runs annually, and incorporates networking with local affirming companies to help students establish and bolster a supportive network.

Workshops and Trainings

During the Fall and Spring semesters, the Women & LGBT Center hosts a Pop-Up Clothing Swap to provide an opportunity for students to acquire clothing that aligns with their current gender identity and/or gender expression. All items are available free of charge. There are no limitations on the number of items an individual is allowed to take, and individuals are not required to bring any items to swap. This event is inclusive of all gender identities and expressions and open to all students. 

 

Lavender Leaders

Our Peer Leader Program provides students with outstanding leadership and educational opportunities? Peer Leaders in the WLGBTC are undergraduates' volunteers who develop and lead small and large-scale educational programs, trainings, and workshops, and act as a speaker's bureau for the campus on gender and sexuality.
