About Us
Purpose
The QRC is Trinity’s hub for LGBTQ+ life, services, and campus initiatives and provides an affirming space for members of the LGBTQ+ and ally community seeking information, support, and connection. The QRC works towards LGBTQ+ inclusion by offering educational and allyship development trainings; institutional guidance on inclusion services; and a vast array of community building and leadership development opportunities for students. These include guest speakers, lectures, workshops, films & discussion events, community dinners, social events, support group spaces, mentorship programs, and LGBTQ+ History Month and Pride Month programming.
With the center we hope to create a strong and cohesive LGBTQ+ community as part of the greater Trinity community and ensure that all members of our campus feel as though they are welcomed and valued.
