Community

The LGBTQ Campus Resource Center provides space for undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, staff, and faculty to come together in community.

Students sit on the lawn in front of Tongva steps.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students looking to build community are welcome at all LGBTQ CRC events and in our physical space. Undergraduate students interested in pursuing academic goals in topics related to gender and sexuality may take courses in Gender Studies and LGBTQ studies. UCLA offers a Gender Studies major and minor as well as a minor in LGBTQ Studies.

Those interested in on-campus housing within a living and learning environment that aims to raise awareness and educate students around topics of gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual health, can request to be a resident of the Gender, Sexuality, and Society Living and Learning Community (LLC).

Undergraduate students can also apply for employment at the LGBTQ Campus Resource Center or join a registered student organization at UCLA.

Graduate Students

Graduate students looking to build community are welcome at all LGBTQ CRC events and in our physical space. We are located on the basement level of the Student Activities Center (SAC), down the hall from the Graduate Student Resource Center.

UCLA offers a Ph.D. program in Gender Studies as well as the annual Thinking Gender graduate research conference hosted by the Center for the Study of Women | Barbra Streisand Center.

The annual UCLA Q-Grad: Queer Graduate Research Conference is co-hosted by LGBTQ Studies and Q-Grad Students.

Graduate students can also apply for employment at the LGBTQ Campus Resource Center or join a registered student organization at UCLA.

Bruin Bear

Prospective Students

We invite prospective students to consider taking part in Pride Achievement Weekend (PAW).

A student-initiated and led program, PAW gives new admits the opportunity to explore and experience Bruin life on campus and in the dorms, connect to on-campus resources available to you as a new admit and to learn more about the academic, professional, and social opportunities UCLA offers.

PAW pairs each admit with a volunteer student host who will act as a mentor and guide their admit through PAW and Bruin life! PAW allows new students to build a community here at UCLA before starting classes in the Fall.

For more information, visit the PAW website.

Alumni

The UCLA Lambda Alumni Association serves the UCLA community of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) alumni with the goals of providing social, professional, community outreach, and mentorship opportunities.

Through social events, professional networking, community service and student/alumni mentorship Lambda Alumni will create a sustainable network of LGBTQ alumni to support other alumni, students, and the larger LGBTQ community.
