LGBTQ+ Equity Center

The LGBTQ+ Equity Center cultivates community collaboration and co-curricular learning with LGBTQ+ programming, advocacy, resources, and education for all. Through our efforts we model community care and belonging. The Equity Center serves University of Maryland students, staff, faculty, and alumni of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Over the years, our signature programs have become hallmark campus experiences for all students, faculty, and staff, including Quelcome, Lavender Celebration of Graduates, the Big Queer Photo, and our national award-winning Lavender Leadership Honor Society.
