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.

During the year, 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. 

Our Lavender Leader Program provides students with outstanding leadership and educational opportunities through our Center. Lavender Leaders in the WLGBTC are undergraduate volunteers who develop and lead small and large-scale educational programs, trainings, and workshops around topics related to the LGBTQIA+ community and gender and sexuality at large. These students also play a role in planning our annual LGBTQ+ Symposium in October and Pride Visibility Day in April.
