From the organization: The purpose of this survey is to understand the challenges and support systems LGBTQIA2S+ students of color encounter while in college. The findings will be shared at national conferences, including NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education in Spring 2026. At NASPA’s annual convention, we will present a program titled: “20 Years of Impact: Understanding the Evolving Experiences of LGBTQIA2S+ Students of Color in Higher Education.” Our goal is to provide actionable insights that help student affairs professionals improve campus support services nationwide.

📣The LGBTQ Student Resource Center is Moving! The current space (Tivoli 213) will close Monday, November 17th and will re-open in the new space in Spring 2026!
