We facilitate and enhance a brave, affirming, liberatory, and celebratory environment for students, faculty, staff, and alumni of all sexual and gender orientations, identities, and expressions. Students need a place where they further discover, develop, and simply be themselves, with and among, affirming community. The Q Center is an epicenter for building relationships within and across communities; where research and knowledge sharing, leadership development, support services, cultural healing, activism, celebration, and mentoring holistically take root and grow out of embodied and shared experience. We empower scholar activists by centering self-authorship, liberation from cis/heteronormativity, and an intersectional, racial and gender justice approach to equity, inclusion, and justice.
The Q Center serves all campus communities because cis/heterosexism is structural and affects everyone in varying degrees. We are student-imagined, student-driven, and student-programmed.
