The QRC has something for everyone
Whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, omnisexual, pansexual, or as an ally, the QRC has something to offer you! Our space houses a great collection of over 2,000 LGBTQIA-related books and movies, which can be checked out for free and used as textbooks for classes or research material for papers. The QRC’s student associates work hard every semester to hold a number of fantastic programs in addition to co-sponsoring many other events with various organizations.
Our lounge and lobby (aka rainbow ski lodge) can be used for organizational meetings, doing homework and studying, or simply hanging out with friends in a safer and more welcoming space. The lounge also includes a computer for 7C student use. Come on by to write a paper, do research, check your email, or what have you, all in the relaxed and welcoming environment of the QRC.
In addition to the student staff members from the 5Cs and graduate assistants, the QRC Director and Assistant Director are both available for drop-in hours. If you are dealing with issues of sexual orientation or gender identity, coming out, research, or just to say hi — their doors are open!
