“On behalf of the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center (GSRC),
I extend a greeting of familiar excitement, optimism, and drive
towards a year of new beginnings. As the Coordinator of the GSRC,
I encourage you to use Cal State L.A.’s Guide to LGBTQ Life on
Campus as a reference for supportive organizations, resource pockets,
and community building opportunities. Originally founded in 1976
as the Women’s Resource Center with a mission to empower and
mobilize students around women’s liberation, the GSRC strives
to connect students, faculty, and staff through a shared intention
of raising awareness on issues affecting women and the LGBTQ
community. We hope to increase visibility and promote the welfare
and dignity of women and the LGBTQ community by providing
a safe environment for social interaction and politically/ socially
conscious development. The GSRC also provides private space
for breastfeeding and offers free counseling to all students. |
