Sponsored by Counseling Services, the LGBTQ Resource Center provides information and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) and ally students, faculty, and staff. Our goal is to increase the visibility of the LGBTQ community, raise awareness of diversity, and educate others about sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. Our efforts are part of the counseling center’s larger initiative to cultivate an inclusive, supportive and open community. In addition to combating oppression, heterosexism, homophobia and transphobia, we hope that these efforts will help us achieve a rich, respectful learning environment that challenges inequities. If you or someone you know is interested in additional support, including individual, group or emergency psychological counseling, please contact Counseling Services directly at 401-598-1016. For after-hours or weekend emergencies, call Safety and Security at 401-598-1103. Learn more about the coming out process, as well as becoming an LGBTQ ally. For health and wellness consultation, as well as safer sex advice and supplies, contact Health Education. For additional resources and outreach related to gender issues, get in touch with or drop by the Gender Equity Center, located on the first floor of Wales Hall.
