What is the Gender Expansive Community?

The Gender Expansive Community is for students who are committed to gender inclusion and centers trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, agender, gender queer, gender questioning and students with gender expansive identities and experiences. Residents in this community can choose to share a room with a student of any gender identity or sex. 

While the Gender Expansive Community is primarily a residential community, University Housing also offers an LGBTQIA+ Scholars Academic Residential Community, which focuses on shared coursework, academics, and scholarship centered on LGBTQIA+ identities and studies.

What are the community expectations?

• Respect individuals’ pronouns, gender, and sexuality.
• Bring openness to cultivate a community of respect and community care.
• Reflect on how your identities (race, sexuality, disability, etc.) intersect with your gender and influence your experience.
• Attend one community program per term.

• There is no course work required with the Gender Expansive Community.
