Campus Community Centers

The Women’s Center, The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center, and the Cross-Cultural Center are collectively known as the Campus Community Centers.

We are grounded in a shared belief that ending one oppression requires ending all oppressions.  Together we facilitate interactive learning, promote self-awareness, foster leadership development, encourage dialogue, and challenge traditional notions of diversity.  The Campus Community Centers work with undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the San Diego Community.  Through these partnerships, we build and sustain a socially just campus climate.

It is valuing differences and recognizing commonalities that energize and drive the overall work of the Campus Community Centers. The Campus Community Centers collaborate on a variety of programs and issues. By understanding and appreciating our diverse histories and experiences, we have found the common connections that bring us together to create strong communities.

LGBT Resource Center

Since opening on November 8, 1999, our office has been a proud home for the entire UCSD Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) community. We provide a visible presence on campus and enhance a sense of connection and community among LGBT faculty, staff, students, and our allies at UCSD. We encourage you to get involved by becoming one of our interns or student staff, participating in one of the student groups, helping our peer support groups, joining the Umbrella Group (staff/faculty group), or volunteering at the center. Discover your family at the LGBT Resource Center.

Women’s Center

Since opening in 1996, the center has been a space where people work collaboratively to foster the development of diverse groups of women. We strive to increase awareness of issues affecting women and men while creating a sense of community at UCSD. Relax in our cozy living room, study in our library, attend a program, or join one of the many student, staff, and faculty groups that meet here. We provide education and support on gender issues as well as information and referrals on a wide variety of topics. Whether you stop by to use the computer, ask for information, engage in one of our discussions, or just say hello, we want you to feel at home at the Women's Center.
