Students in the Rainbow Room

The Rainbow Room

Located in the Bryan Complex, the Rainbow Room has a comfortable lounge available to everyone, a clothing room, gender-inclusive restrooms, “a queer space” (a room for students who identify as LGBTQ+), a kitchenette, and a small library of LGBTQ+ resources. 

Students and allies who identify as LGBTQ+ can socialize, host events and programs, study, relax, and experience a safe, inclusive space.
 

The Closet

Located in the Rainbow Room (Bryan Complex), The Closet is a clothing program for LGBTQ+, non-binary, and other students who are in need of no-cost options to better reflect their gender identity and expression. The Closet program provides a series of workshops and master classes for LGBTQ+ and traditional gender non-conforming students and for straight allies who would like to promote body positivity.
