WELCOME NEW 2009-2010 STUDENTS!
Welcome to the Department of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Ally (LGBTQA) Services at Lehigh University!
LGBTQA Services offers a variety of services for students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Check out our brochure! We encourage you to take a look through our website and visit the Rainbow Room student center located in B202 on the second floor of the University Center.
Our center has comfortable couches for relaxing, computers for work, and a media library full of magazines, books, videos, pamphlets and other materials relevant to sexual and gender diversity. We are here when you want to relax in a comfortable space and if you are looking to talk with someone about LGBTQIA* issues such as coming out and being open about who you are, becoming an ally, finding a community of people who accept and affirm who you are, and finding LGBTQIA resources at Lehigh and in the community.
Thank you for stopping in! We look forward to meeting you and wish you well throughout your journey with Lehigh.
*LGBTQQIA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex and Ally*
