Program in Sexuality Studies
In Fall 2004, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill began offering a minor in Sexuality Studies. This minor is designed for students interested in exploring the study of sexual/gender identities—such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and heterosexual—as well as the full range of human sexual behaviors and identities in diverse cultures and historical periods.
Safe Zone Training
The Safe Zone program is designed to create a network of visible allies to people who identify as part of the LGBTIQA+ campus community. The trainings provide information and resources related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
Support
The Center provides direct support programs and services including programs designed to address identity development, leadership development, and relationship skills development.
Center staff are available to meet with people individually to discuss issues related to identity development (e.g., coming out, spirituality), relationships, family, and academics. We also provide technical consultation on
best practices and research related to LGBTIQA+ topics and advocate on issues of university policy.
