The resources below were compiled in partnership with students, faculty, and staff from across the University for you to use in exploring this critical issue and devloping skills to combat LGBTQIA+ bias and discrimination. Requests to add additional items can be sent to [email protected].
The resources below include off-campus resources that Columbia is neither affiliated with nor explicitly endorses. This list is intended only to inform our community of available resources.
