Women, Gender, and Sexuality Resource Center

The Women, Gender, and Sexuality Resource Center provides advocacy, education, and celebration for RIT community members of all genders, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

Our vision is to promote an inclusive campus community that is safe, equitable, respectful of all members, and acknowledges the needs of our intersectional identities. Our team will continue to evolve our services and programming to meet the needs of our dynamic student population.
