Our Crowdfunding Groups
"Research opportunities are crucial for LGBTQ2+ Studies students, as they connect classroom learning to real-world experiences. In the Central Valley, with its diverse communities, research can highlight the intersectional challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly around sexual orientation, sex, gender, race, and immigration status. By emphasizing these disparities and advocating for resources, research can shape public health interventions and foster cultural competency in healthcare for underserved populations.” - Jonathan Gonzalez (Alumnx)
The LGBTQ2+ Studies Student Development Fund offers essential financial support to LGBTQ2+ Studies minors while also providing opportunities to deepen their understanding of LGBTQ2+ history, politics, and professional development beyond the classroom.
Providing funding to our students enrolled in the LGBTQ2+ Studies minor can better support those in need. Providing greater learning opportunities bridges the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world application through educational trips, queer studies conferences, internships, and workshops featuring esteemed LGBTQ2+ leaders and professionals.
