LGBTQIA+ Students

LGBTQIA+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, and asexual and/or ally. Terms of sexual and gender identity evolve, change, and mean different things to different individuals. Identities are fluid and can exist on a continuum. At the Counseling Center, we respect and value students’ various intersecting identities and understand the invalidating experiences surrounding gender identity that can occur, especially in treatment settings. Please share your preferred pronouns and name with our staff, as we strive to provide safe spaces where diverse identities are understood, welcomed, and embraced.
