Mission

The LGBTQ+ Resource Center seeks to foster the development of the whole student in their pursuit of academic excellence and personal growth. Recognizing the rich history and traditions of ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵas a Catholic, Jesuit institution, our Resource Center is driven by recognizing and cherishing the dignity of each individual. We put this into practice by providing a haven within our center and space for dialogue, support, and growth.  Beyond our walls, we provide resources, education, and advocacy, specifically with regard to issues and concerns surrounding the well-being of students, faculty, staff, and alumni with gender, romantic, and sexual minority identities. We invite individuals of all identities to enter our open and welcoming space to engage in a productive exchange of ideas that reflects the diversity of thought on our campus. 

Vision

Understanding the unique struggles of queer and gender-diverse students, the LGBTQ+ Resource Center recognizes the importance and impact of affirming our students’ multiple and intersecting identities. Therefore, we seek collaborations to foster an inclusive culture that promotes the equitable treatment our students deserve and the utmost reverence for their human dignity.  It is our hope that through education and advocacy, rooted in social justice ideals, we are able to impact minds and hearts for a more compassionate and love-filled community, both on and off our campus.
