Our Mission

Southern Connecticut State University's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, allies (LGBTIQQA) center seeks to transform SCSU into a safe haven that provides a positive academic, cultural and social environment for all people of sexual diversity including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and university guests.

To achieve that goal, we seek to provide a safe communal space, personal support, resource information, relevant programming, and positive acknowledgement of the LGBTIQQA community and its equality in the world today. Ultimately, the SAGE Center wants to create a campus atmosphere of tolerance and understanding that is open and accepting of all human differences and free from the oppressive forces of homophobia, heterosexism, gender bias, and all other forms of discrimination that hurt and hinder humanity.
