The LGBTQ+ Resource Center’s mission is focused around building community and providing opportunities for LGBTQ+ students to gather around, learn about and celebrate their various experiences. While we provide helpful resources through an intersectional lens, we are also known for annual events and traditions.
Each month during the academic year, the Center hosts a night for students to come together and play games of all kinds, including Nintendo Switch games and tabletop games.
Fall 2025 Schedule
Every spring, the LGBTQ+ Resource Center hosts a symposium as an opportunity for students to showcase their research about LGBTQ+ communities, issues and other affiliated topics.
Join the LGBTQ+ Resource Center for a brand new program series where the Syracuse University community can come together to engage with fellow campus members and enjoy a nice meal in a warm and welcoming environment! Every month, we will highlight a different on campus partner to learn about what they do and the resources they provide our Orange family!
Join the LGBTQ+ Resource Center and the Barnes Center at The Arch in this three-part educational series in which we will be educating about consent, how to practice safe intimacy and debunking myths about kinks. A Syracuse University I.D. is required to participate and all participants must be 17+.
Every year on or around Nov. 20, we hold space to recognize, honor and remember lives lost in the trans and nonbinary communities in the United States. Visit our Trans at Syracuse University webpage for more information.
Every spring, the LGBTQ+ Resource Center shifts the focus from remembrance to liberation with Transgender Week of Liberation. While we recognize that the national event is named “Transgender Day of Visibility,” we believe that visibility alone is not enough. We challenge ourselves and encourage you to push beyond visibility and towards transgender liberation. Visit our Trans at Syracuse University webpage for more information.
Throughout the academic year, the Center will host events highlighting different identities within the queer community. These may include bi+ visibility, intersex visibility, asexuality visibility and more.
A weekly opportunity for students to join us in the Intercultural Collective lounge and be in community together. While we supply plenty of knitting and crocheting supplies, all arts and crafts are welcome!
Meetings are every Friday at 2:30 p.m. during the academic year.
In honor of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, the LGBTQ+ Resource Center hosts programming that is aligned with the significance of the day. In the past, students have worked on their own quilting project to emulate the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
