The newly reconfigured GSSRC aims to affirm and uplift women, femme, trans, and queer people by increasing access to resources, providing educational programming, and promoting inclusive policies across campus related to gender and sexuality. At the GSSRC, we provide and collaborate on educational programming that centers and affirms the voices and lived experiences of women, femme, queer, and trans students. We also offer expertise on and advocate for inclusive institutional policies related to gender, sex, and sexual identity.
In addition, we also supply a range of free menstrual and sexual health resources to students so they can practice sexual safety and bodily autonomy without the burden of cost. Our programs and events enable students to explore, reflect on, and grow their gender and sexual identities in an affirming environment. We provide opportunities for students to meet on campus with those who hold shared identities and to network with other local campuses and organizations.
We also maintain a community space in Anderson where students can gather informally, study, and hold meetings and events. We support students interested in gender and sexuality through volunteer opportunities, internships, and paid work study positions. Additionally, we also regularly offer training and workshops for faculty and staff to build inclusive classrooms and campus communities.
Student workers are responsible for a range of tasks, including:. Each semester, we host up to three internships for undergraduate students. Most internships are project based, unless we have a particular need. Students of all majors are welcome to apply. Volunteers can work with us as often as they'd like—weekly or throughout the semester. As a volunteer, you are welcome to work on the same projects as student workers and interns, just on a smaller scale.
By uplifting the voices of women, femmes, queer, and trans people, the GSSRC aims to: Advance equity Build community Cultivate leadership across the entire Hamline community.
