Diversity and Equity Unit
LGBTQA Services has partnered with the ALANA Student Center, the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity, and the Women's Center to form the Diversity and Equity Unit. All of us work together and share resources and expertise to make UVM a truly multi-cultural and diverse institution grounded in the values of respect and justice.
LGBTQA-specific resources at UVM:
Campus Housing Options for LGBTQA Students
Free To Be Student Club: A Student Government Association (SGA) recognized club, Free To Be is entirely run by students. According to its mission statement, the group exists "to actively work on creating a safe space for people of all sexualities and individualities within ourselves and the GLBTA and UVM communities." The group welcomes anyone who is interested and has many members who are allies. It is active throughout the year, with events drawing anywhere from 40 to 300 people.
