Welcome to the Gender and Sexuality Center!
Welcome to our Campus Gender & Sexuality Center! This is a warm, welcoming hub that
provides support services, educational and social activities, and a space for students
to meet new people in a relaxed and comfortable setting.
We acknowledge that many students often face stress or discrimination based on their
sexual or gender identity. Therefore, our mission is to create a safe, affirming,
and inclusive environment for all students to feel both valued and supported. We offer
a wealth of support with a care perspective, which includes course offerings to students
and faculty and staff such as Safe Zone and Advanced Safe Zone Training, Allyship
Training, and many more.
Behind Closed Doors is where anyone looking to discuss their gender and sexuality
with one of our trained staff members can do so privately.
We provide support for student organizations and clubs, as well as programming and
events that celebrate the expression and development of one’s gender, sexuality, and
intersectional identities. We are here to listen, connect you to campus and community
resources, and teach you different ways to advocate for yourself and your peers.
The mission of the Gender & Sexuality Center is to encourage ESU community members
to discuss and think introspectively on the many ways our identities influence our
lives. Intersectionality and empowerment are the foundation of the GSC. We motivate
students to become their authentic selves and educate them on how to be an ally and
advocate.
