Prism: LGBTQA+ and Allied Students is a Learning Community for students who identify as LGBTQA+ or are allies of the community. If you identify with that statement, this is the home for you. The Learning Community is housed in suite-style Gender Inclusive Housing (GIH) to take full advantage of gender-inclusive offerings. Prism emphasizes the intersectionality within everyone's identities and allows you to explore your personal identities in a supportive and caring space. You will explore the history of the LGBTQA+ community, as well as current-day issues and community resources. Prism places an emphasis on creating community, and will partner with the Gender and Sexuality Center to provide multiple engagement opportunities for you and your peers.
Students of all majors can be part of Prism, as the community will focus on shared identities and interests rather than an academic field. The courses you take will center around relevant LGBTQA+ issues and will contribute to an LGBTQ/Sexuality Studies minor, if desired. You will even participate in an exclusive seminar your first semester.
