Programs
The LGBTQ Center sponsors programs such as educational training, social events, major speakers, and film screenings.

Collaborate
The LGBTQ Center can also assist individual students, student organizations, departments, and other University offices in activity and events planning. Co-sponsorship includes co-planning and perhaps co-funding programs, and advertising on the Center's website, newsletter, and social media outlets.
Preference is given to programs or program ideas that address intersecting identities, fit within the LGBTQ Center mission and values statement, and are proposed one month in advance of the event date.
