LGBTQ Resource Center Programs

Students initiated this extremely successful series during the Spring of 2007 to reach out to role models in the community and learn about various aspects of LGBTQ life as experienced by our own faculty and staff. Speakers include openly lesbian and gay people as well as allies and those with LGBTQ family members.

Speakers Bureau

Peer Educators share their experiences about their sexual orientation and gender identity in panel discussions across the campus. Such presentations feature personal stories and reflections by LGBTQ students and allow for questions from the audience. The Speakers Bureau at Connecticut College was formed in 2008 and gave its inaugural presentation during Common Hour on Friday, April 11th called "Speaking Out about Being Out."

Special Events

The Center hosts many special lectures and workshops throughout the year. For the latest information on these events, consult the Online Calendar of Events. To receive a weekly email listing of upcoming events, join our listserv by contacting Jennifer Manion.

Orientation Workshops

The LGBTQ Resource Center plays an active role in new student orientation by providing educational workshops and resource support for student leaders and first year students.

Planning Committee Workshop Series

Students who staff the Center are all members of the planning committee. The Center provides a weekly training series for student volunteers and workers to educate them about the latest issues facing the LGBTQ community.

Campus-wide Outreach

Center staff regularly meet with various offices and departments on campus to inform others about the resources at the Center as well as to ensure that the needs of LGBTQ students are being met in all areas of campus life.
