Mission

The Communal Queer Living TLC in Shore Hall is a gender inclusive and affirming housing option that provides space for transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, genderqueer students, and affirming friends to build community. Individuals interested in being a part of this Queer and Trans affirming community are expected to work to recognize their varying positions of privilege, and prioritize the lives of marginalized folks. This community is committed to creating an anti-racist, class conscious, queer affirming space; that centers femmes, trans folks, people of color, indigenous folks, undocumented students, people with disabilities, and those embodying the spaces in-between and beyond. Hall programming and conduct will reflect these principles and values.
