Welcome to the UConn Rainbow Center
We are the cover story for the UConn Magazine!!!! Please see the link, if you have not received a hard copy: http://today.uconn.edu/blog/tag/magazine/ .
Greetings! Everyone is welcome. We pride ourselves on a family-like environment with academic and social opportunities. We recognize the spectrum and fluidity of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. The fun and amazing staff provides resources and services to the wider campus community of students, faculty, staff, and local residents. Our welcome recognizes the whole person, and the intersection of all social identities, inclusive of, but not limited to socio-economic status, emotional and physical abilities, race and ethnicity, religion and spirituality, size, national origin, age and others. Our educational and social programs include weekly discussion groups, Queer Studies courses, an LGBTQ alternative spring break trip, Friday night Coffeehouse, the Out to Lunch lecture series, the Pink Tongue student newsletter, CommunitE weekly e-newsletter, a number of unique programs, the annual t-shirt awareness campaign, and a library with over 2,000 books and videos.
For the fifth time in a row, we are honored to host the 19th Annual True Colors Conference on March 16-17, 2012! Look at True Colors on CNN here! We really appreciate the support from the Division of Student Affairs, the Business School, the other Cultural Centers, and all of the volunteers. We appreciate what True Colors do for the youth.
Celebrate our 13th year anniversary as one of the best 100 gay-friendly campuses in the country, and our 4.5 out of 5 rating on the LGBTQ-Friendly Campus Climate Index (link here) by participating in HA!, Husky Ally is our umbrella program involving the Friends & Family plan, Safe Zone workshop, Advance Ally Training, Gender Identity & Expression Advocacy Training, and the Ally Advocate Project.
