At the SU, we believe in the importance of community: building a sense of unity, maintaining a social connection, and assuring safety. Hence, we have created a few platforms to show our support and contribute towards the LGBT+ community. On campus, throughout February there will be amazing flagship events to attend.
If you are experiencing difficulty reaching out for support with any issue you are facing, the links below might be exactly what you're looking for. You are never alone.
