Fluidity Support Group

Fluidity is a weekly support group where students across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and allies discuss topics relevant to their experiences including campus, community and interpersonal situations. Students are able to participate in Fluidity as needed and does not require consistent, continuous attendance. Fluidity provides a safe and private space with peers for those exploring their sexual and/or gender identity. The group allows advocacy for its members and is a judgment-free zone. Fluidity will occur on Mondays from 3pm-4pm.
