Queer Communal Living
Themed Living Community for CONTINUING STUDENTS in SHORE HALL.
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.
Learning Objectives
Students will explore current, historical, interpersonal, and systemic issues related to gender, sexuality, intersectionality, and social justice.
Students will be able to build relationships with queer advocacy groups around the Greensboro Community.
Students will be more encouraged to advocate for the LGBTQIA Community
Students will work to create an inclusive and understanding space that allows students to support and collaborate with one another throughout the year.
Students will become SAFE ZONE trained during their time in the QCL.
This TLC will occupy a portion of Shore Hall depending on the number of registrations received.
While we hope all Shore Hall residents will be engaged in the incredible opportunities, events and initiatives offered through Queer Communal Living TLC there will be no requirements to participate.
HOW TO APPLY
There is a place on the Online Housing Registration (required for all residential students) where continuing students may indicate their interest in being part of the Queer Communal Living TLC and respond to registration questions.
Note that if you make this indication, you'll likely be paired with another individual in the Queer Communal Living TLC so roommate options may be restricted.
