Welcome to the Wake Forest University LGBTQ+ Center! A part of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the LGBTQ+ Center strives to decrease inequity and increase sense of belonging for people of all genders and sexualities at Wake Forest. We serve our entire campus community of undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni through our five focus areas: education, advocacy, support, community building, and personal and professional development. The LGBTQ+ Center offers a number of ongoing programs and educational opportunities, as well as special events, throughout the year, and we maintain a lounge space in the Benson Student Union. All are welcome at the LGBTQ+ Center!
Looking for a space to express yourself, reflect, and connect during election week? Join us at the LGBTQ+ Center for two special sessions focused on community support and creative expression! Whether you want to create vision boards, collage, or simply process your thoughts in a welcoming space, these sessions are here for you. ποΈπ³οΈ
