STUDENT ENROLLMENT, ENGAGEMENT, AND SUCCESS

Hofstra University is home to many LGBTQIA+-focused resources, open to all students. This site provides information for LGBTQIA+ identifying student organizations, the LGBTQIA+ Studies Department, counseling services, as well as more resources found on Hofstra’s campus and in the local community. 

For more about LGBTQIA+ life on campus, please stop by Intercultural Engagement & Inclusion (IEI), located in the Mack Student Center, Room 260, or email us at IEI@hofstra.edu.

LGBTQIA+ Studies focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, their history and culture, sexualities and genders as identities, social statuses, categories of knowledge, and as lenses that help us to frame how we understand our world.

In 2002, Hofstra University established an unprecedented scholarship program for students engaged in service to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQIA+) community.

The Lavender Grove (TLG) is an organization, powered by young adults, uniting people, and organizations within the LGBTQIA+ movement. TLG encourages the self-expression of LGBTQIA+ students and their allies through support, promotion, and production of media. TLG works to end bias and prejudice by providing education and practical solutions to facilitate change.

The Queer and Trans People of Color Coalition (QTPOCC) strives to create a safe space conducive for LGBTQIA+ people of color and their allies to have proactive discussions about social justice and effective allyship, and to evoke positive change in our communities.
