University Counseling Services (UCS)

UCS works to provide an affirmative space for students to explore sexual and gender identities and expressions. 

  • Clinicians who specialize in the needs of LGBTQIA+ students are available. 
  • Rainbow Group is a weekly LGBTQIA+ support group that offers a safe space for students to get information, share experiences, and connect with others.
  • UCS also offers resources about gender identity and sexual identity.  Examples include information on coming out, trans and gender non-conforming students, and information for allies (such as LGBTQIA terminology and gender identity basics).
