LGBTQ+

Find resources, information, and support for LGBTQ+ Students.

As part of the LGBTQ+ community, you may have questions related to your career journey and identity, including finding organizations with strong LGBTQ+ equality practices and understanding your rights. The Greene Center is available to help you navigate the search and find answers to questions you may have, appointments with our advisors can be made through Handshake. For quicker questions you can also stop by without scheduling an appointment on Monday to Friday 1pm-4pm to our drop-in hours to speak with a Peer Career Adviser.
