Queer Graduate and Professional Students (QGAPS)
Diversity and Student Success and the LGBTQ Center partner to provide opportunities and resources for our LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual)-identified graduate students to aid in their academic success and to build community.
How We Create Student Success
- QGAPS speaker series: graduate and professional students have the opportunity to share their research.
- QGAPS socials
- QTPOC gatherings
- SafeZone training, which is designed to create a network of visible allies to people who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ campus community.
