LGBTQ Resources

 

Welcome to the LGBTQ resource page at the UTD Galerstein Women’s Center (GWC). GWC strives to be a welcoming place to all. We serve as a central location for resources important to the LGBTQ community. We hope you find what you need in the resources listed below. And we hope you will come visit us!

The GWC is a proud sponsor of the SAFE ZONE project. The SAFE ZONE project works to establish a university-wide network of trained Allies who can help in shaping a campus culture that is accepting of all people, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. Taking part in SAFE ZONE Ally Training enables you to become a vital part of a network of visible allies who are working to provide a supportive and inclusive environment to all members of the UTD community.
