Purpose
The LGBTQ+ and Allies Commons coordinates a variety of programs rooted in community building, advocacy and conciousness-raising.
The LGBTQ+ & Allies Center came out of a legacy of student advocacy that pushed for greater visibility and support for LGBTQ+ community members. As a student-run space, our work is informed by student coordinators and volunteers.
As an engaged, contemporary Catholic university, USD is dedicated to creating a world where each person's inherent dignity is protected and affirmed. Our presence on campus flows out of this commitment and is an expression of the university's solidarity and embodiment of the Catholic call to care for the whole person.
