Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GSRC only for LGBTQIA+ communities or for women/fem individuals?
No! The GSRC is a space for everyone in our campus community who is committed to advancing our mission of affirming queer, trans, women, and fem Princetonians. While many of our efforts provide direct support to women, fem, queer, and trans individuals, we offer programming and educational opportunities for all Princeton students.
As a prospective undergrad or graduate student, how can I learn what campus life is like at Princeton for queer, trans, women, and fem communities?
The GSRC staff can answer questions you may have about the University and surrounding communities, as well as connect you to a current student to have a conversation or email exchange. Email Center staff at gsrc@princeton.edu for more information
How do I connect with Princeton’s LGBTQAIA+ and/or Women’s alumni group?

I don’t study LGBTQIA+ and/or feminist issues academically—do I still have a place in the GSRC?
