Est. Fall 2021. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning Student Center is a collaborative resource dedicated to celebrating, empowering, and supporting LGBTQIA+ students, staff, and faculty at The City College of New York. We are committed to leading with a social justice lens, offering and connecting LGBTQ+ communities at CCNY with accessible support services, relevant programming, engaging events, paid internship/job opportunities, and support navigating college life for those who identify as LGBTQ+ or questioning. The LGBTQ+ Student Center is also dedicated to increasing awareness about LGBTQ+ issues, gender, and sexuality at City College.
The CCNY LGBTQ+ Student Center is located on the first floor of North Academic Building (NAC), Room 1/101B in the “Safe Space” resource room. The Center serves as a hub for LGBTQ+ student programs and activities. The LGBTQ+ Student Center is a safe space for all LGBTQIA+ students and allies to meet and build community.
