LGBTQIA+ Initiatives

(Well-being & Belonging)

Our Mission

Through education, on-campus engagement and advocacy the LGBTQIA+ Initiatives strives to reduce homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism among the Old Dominion University community and create a more affirming environment through which all Monarchs can thrive. 

The LGBTQIA+ events and programs produced by the Women's & Gender Equity Center are made possible through collaboration with, 51³Ô¹ÏPro Sexuality and Gender Alliance, Queer Resilience Coalition, Transcendence, Women's & Gender Equity Center, Health Promotions, English Department, Gay Cultural Studies, Counseling Services, and local community partners, such as the LGBT Life Center
