Mission & Goals
Our Mission
The LGBTQ+ Resource Center is a safe space for all members of the Kutztown community. As such, we strive to combat bullying, gossip, and victim-blaming by fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and mutual respect, with a special concern for the well-being of transgender, lesbian, bisexual, gay, intersex, questioning, and other non-cis/straight students. We host a number of student groups and frequently collaborate with the Women's Center.
Our library has over a thousand books and DVDs that are available for check-out by students, faculty, and staff. We also have a number of magazines, brochures, and other resources. Comfortable seating and computers are available during our normal office hours.
