What is the Gender Expansive and Queer Community?
The Gender Expansive and Queer Residential Community aims to support community-building and belonging for trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, agender, genderqueer, genderfluid, gender questioning, and students with gender expansive identities and experiences as well as queer (lesbian, bisexual, gay, pansexual, etc.) students. Residents in this community can choose to share a room with a student of any gender identity or sex.
For students interested in living together and taking 2SLGBTQIA3+-related courses together, 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 sexuality and influence your experience.
- Attend one community program per term.
- There is no course work required with the Gender Expansive and Queer Residential Community.
Location
