LGBTQ+ Resources
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) students may face unique challenges in higher education, including overt and/or covert discrimination while on campus or struggle with the fear of how family and friends will respond if they come out. At AU, we strive to make all students feel supported wherever they may be on their journey.
