Our Mission
The Resource Center for Sexual & Gender Diversity (RCSGD) at UCSB is
designed to be a safe and supportive environment for all students,
staff, and faculty, emphasizing resources for the lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex (LGBTQI) community, as well as
allies and those who are questioning their sexual orientation and/or
gender identity.
The Resource Center welcomes a diversity of racial,
ethic, religious, political and cultural values while advocating for
the welfare of those who have historically been marginalized because of
their sexual and/or gender identity.
The Resource Center staff is
committed to serving the campus and larger community with
professionalism and respect. The RCSGD provides educational
programming, social activities, advocacy and consultation with the goal
of enhancing safety, tolerance and quality of life in the UCSB
community.
