Welcome

The LGBTQIA2S+ Resource Program consists of dynamic events and services created to support the needs of the lgbtqia2s+ campus community at Fullerton College. We strive to create a safe space for students to express themselves, connect with each other, and discover their unfolding identities, while prioritizing their mental health and well-being.   

 

Note: We will be remote during construction between May 22 and June 02!

Connect with us!

The LGBTQIA2S+ Resource Program is in the Student Development and Engagement Offices located in Building 500, Room 512-02. We are open Monday-Thursday from 9am – 4pm. We are closed Monday-Thursday from 12pm – 1pm for a reset hour.

LGBTQIA+ Points of Contact

We are here to support Fullerton College’s LGBTQIA2S+ community! Reach out if you are in need of resources, guidance, connection, or a little queer gossip. Your safety and experience on campus (in person or online) are important! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you are feeling lost, unheard, or just want to manifest an event or resource. Feel free to pop into Queer Social Hour, Fridays at 1pm, to talk with us as well!

Visit the LGBTQIA+ Canvas shell – it has a collection of resources for the LGBTQIA+ community but is mostly used as a listserv for students to send out events and information.  We have an LGBTQIA+ fullcoll.edu website brewing, which will have a more complete collection of resources. We also have an LGBTQ+ Advocates Staff and Faculty List here.
