Class of 2016 Group This group is specifically for first-year students.  It provides a chance to meet other LGBT students and find out more about the campus community.  We meet Fridays for lunch. Contact: [email protected].

Coming Out Group for LGBT Students For gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans-, queer or questioning students who are seeking to understand how their identity may impact various aspects of their lives. Group members may be contemplating when or how to be more open about their identity, and/or going through the “coming out” process now. The group offers a safe, confidential space in which members can get support and share experiences. CPS organizes this group. Contact: Dr. Joe Cooper—[email protected] or 609-258-3285.

Beyond the Binary This is a group for students who do not identify as straight and also do not identify as gay or lesbian. If you feel you are straddling the line between both communities or as if your identity is beyond the binary, this is a discussion group where you can speak with other students about identity, orientation, relationships, and finding community. Contact: [email protected].

Transcending Boundaries A supportive and confidential place for questioning, genderqueer and trans students to discuss topics such as: gender identity, friends & family, transitioning, and navigating campus, this group is also known as the Gender Group. Contact: [email protected].
