The Center has an extensive collection of publications regarding a wide range of aspects of lgbtq life and community. Books are available for circulation. Informational pamphlets are free for the taking. Newspapers, magazines and videos are for Center use only.

Study, Socialize, Relax

The Center is welcoming and comfortable. Students spread their work out on the tables to study, play cards around the green table, and watch television. A range of student groups hold their meetings at the Center and special programs take place regularly. There are comfortable couches, a working fireplace, occasional refreshments and awesome fuzzy blankets.

History of the Center

The Resource Center was founded in February 2007 by a group of dedicated students under the leadership of Dr. Jennifer Manion, Assistant Professor of History, and with great support from President Leo Higdon, Dean of the College Community Armando Bengochea and Interim Dean of Multicultural Affairs Tracee Reiser. Many, many students have served as educators and activists on campus over the years regarding issues of homophobia and heterosexism. Those who dedicated many hours of their lives to ensuring the establishment of the Resource Center in Spring 2007 include Rachel Chase '05, Grant Hogan '07, Laila Johns '10, Aimee Martin '07, Candyce Young-Fields '07, Alice Watson '07, and Rachel Zelinsky '10.
