Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.

We are passionate about our mission to create a more inclusive campus and catalyze positive social change. Through innovative programs, interactive workshops, special events, and the sharing of resources, we challenge heteronormativity and transphobia to promote deeply engaged and life affirming thinking, learning, and action.

We serve students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members throughout Chicago of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Let’s work together to make a difference.

The Gender and Sexuality Center is currently operating under limited hours.

Due to COVID-19 related health concerns, the Gender and Sexuality Center’s Community Lounge and Flex Space will be closed until further notice. Please stay tuned to our newsletter, social media, and website for updates. If you need to reach GSC staff, please email us at lgbtqa@uic.edu or leave us a voicemail at (312) 413- 3036. Thank you for your patience during these challenging times and be well.
