Student Groups

There are many student organizations related to queer issues and identities on campus. A few examples of organized groups include:

  • SPECTRUM - a confidential social organization that provides a safe space to address the specific needs of queer students of color.

  • Trans/Gender Group – a group of both trans and non-trans students involved in discussion and activism around gender/gender identity issues on and off campus.

  • Wednesday Night Football – a weekly discussion for students questioning their sexuality or who just want to talk to other queer or questioning students.

  • Queer Social Committee – a planning committee for queer social events on campus.

  • April Planning Committee -  a planning committee for Asian/Asian American, Arab/Arab American and Queer Awareness Month. These communities have decided in recent years to come together to plan and celebrate this month of political, social, educational, and entertaining programs and events.

Queer life at Wesleyan is constantly evolving and there are many opportunities for students to get involved with shaping its structure. In addition, new student groups can be created at anytime and many events happen throughout the year outside of these groups’ activities. Community members find out about all of these and other opportunities on the listserv endlessacronym, named for the seemingly endless letters in LGBTQQFAGIPBDSM… Allies are welcome to join the list too.

To sign up, send an e-mail to lyris@lyris.wesleyan.edu with a blank subject line and “subscribe endlessacronym” in the body of the e-mail.
