About Us
Membership in this group is open to all students who have an interest in this topic. There are no restrictions based on identity, background, beliefs, or affiliation. The group welcomes anyone who wishes to participate, contribute, and support its mission, fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all members. The primary mission of Queer and Transgender People of Color Coalition (QTPOCC) is to provide a safe and uplifting space for queer students on campus that identify with intersecting identities, most especially their ethnic and/or racial identity. The organization aims to bring visibility to those who are often overlooked and disempowered in specialized spaces that do not encompass their entire racial and affectional identities. This safe and uplifting space will provide opportunities for queer students of color to be empowered in leadership, provide resources for better visibility, and programming that serves to support the celebration of intersectional identities. (QTPOCC) will also partner with fellow queer and culturally focused clubs to better advocate for our queer faculty, students and communities of color.
