Annual Celebrations and Programs

National Coming Out Week is a time for LGBTQ and allies to celebrate their identities in healthy, visible and active ways with the hope to encourage others to do the same.

Gender Liberation Week focuses on breaking down gender constructions and what it means to be transgender and what defines sex, gender, gender expression, gender identity and sexual orientation.

Pride Week is the time of year we celebrate accomplishments in the LGBTQ community and examine what it means to transcend tolerance and truly affirm the pride of one's identity and self.

Lavender Graduation celebrates graduating LGBTQ students and allies and honors their achievements and contributions to the university community.

Educating the Whole Person is reflected in our expanding programming. The Center leads visual art, performing art, spoken word and community service projects to supplement holistic personal growth outside of the classroom.

Discussion Groups include OUTspoken and Getting Bi.  These are lead by trained peer facilitators and meet weekly providing a comfortable, open, and confidential space for current undergraduate students.
