Who Are We?
Located in Clader House, the Gender and Sexuality Center helps support a dynamic campus community that recognizes, supports and celebrates sexual and gender diversity – specifically centering resources and services for LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Aromantic, and more) students.
The GSC also offers a comfortable space on campus where students can drop by anytime to browse through the library, grab resources, study, or to chat with the staff.
What Do We Do?
Individual support
Staff in the GSC are available for individual support and advising. Talk helps! Contact us if you would like to chat. Gender and Sexuality Center Associates (GSCAs) are also available for peer support. The Q for Questioning program is another resource for students who are navigating questions related to gender & sexual identity. The Queer Peer Mentor Program is also helpful for students interested in becoming more socially connected to the LGBTQIA+ community at Carleton.
Peer Education
We offer ongoing peer-led educational programs for students. This includes already-created workshops or working in collaboration with our Campus Education & Resources team to create something unique to your community’s needs. Contact gsc@carleton.edu to connect with our Campus Education & Resources team.
LGBTQIA+ Housing
The GSC sponsors two residential houses: QTBIPOC House and Rainbow House.
Lending Library
The center houses a large collection of books, magazines, and videos related to gender and sexuality. These materials are available for checkout. Stop by and browse through our library!
Meeting Space
The center provides a comfortable meeting space for related student groups. This space is also available for students to simply hang out or study. The GSC can be reserved for larger meetings by contacting our staff.
