LGBTQ+ Campus Partnerships
The Gender & Sexuality Center is a proud supporter of various campus initiatives for students and professionals alike. View examples of our current and past involvements below.
The Cultural Centers partners with New Student and Family Programs during new student orientation to put on an afternoon welcome day for LGBTQ+ students. This year we hosted Queer-eoke, an LGBTQ+ Resource Fair, and breakout sessions about LGBTQ+ student life at USF.
The Cultural Centers are the lead organizing body for the yearly Women of Color Leadership Conference, in partnership with the Office of Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. he conference's purpose is to engage members of the University of San Francisco, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, in centering the experiences of women of color.
We are a proud supporter of our campus Staff & Faculty LGBTQ+ Caucus. The Caucus helps to produce community bonding opportunities for LGBTQ+ staff and faculty, and advocates for additional resources and support for these members of our USF Community.
Archived Initiatives and Partnerships
The Transgender Spectrum Initiative was a Jesuit Grant Foundation-funded program from the Gender & Sexuality Center at USF. The purpose of the Transgender Spectrum Initiative (TSI), through the Jesuit value of Contemplation in Action, was to invite USF’s transgender, non-binary, gender nonconforming people and the broader community to reflect on and engage in a dialogue about the marginalization and injustice that transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming community members experience on a day to day basis. The focus of these spaces will be solidarity-building and personal and professional development.
