Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender Resource Center

Same-Gender Loving Students of Color,
Internationals and Allies

One of the 500-600 student organizations registered through the Department of Student Life, SGL-SOCIAL provides a safe space for personal support and educates on issues related to intersections of race, ethnicity, nationality and LBGT identities.

The group traces its history to one of the discussion / support groups hosted by the Alliance of LBG Students (at that time the only such student group) in the mid 1990's.
