The QSC is one of nine diversity commissions under the ASUW, our student government here on campus. We’re a student-run organization that aims to empower the queer and trans community at the university. Our mission is to…

• Support, educate, and cultivate an accountable and inclusive environment
• Advocate for a queer and trans-affirming atmosphere at the UW
• Provide non-heteronormative, anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-sexist, and sex-positive programs
• Promote solidarity within the community, recognizing our intersectional identities
• Decolonize conceptions of queer identity

Some of the events, programs, and services we’ve done and continue to do include…

• Host our annual Drag Competition in the spring
• Stage the QSC Ball, our queer prom in the winter
• Fought for the implementation of an inclusive name system within UW’s IT system
• Run a panel on the nuances and lived experiences of bisexuality and pansexuality
• Foster a close connection and relationship with the Q Center
• Facilitate a community vigil for Transgender Day of Remembrance
• Sponsor legislation in the ASUW Student Senate
• Help bring guest speakers like Laverne Cox and Laura Jane Grace to campus
• Work closely with the other members of the ASUW Joint Commissions Committee
• Host community movie nights
• Advocate at spaces like the Student Advisory Board and the Student Safety Advisory Board
• Connect students to proper resources

…and many more to come!
