About Us

The LGBT Resource Center was established in 2005 to serve as a place for LGBTQ-identified students and their allies to find community, support, and developmental resources at the University of Georgia. The LGBT Resource Center is committed to providing meaningful programming and engagement that meet the needs of the LGBT and ally communities by creating an environment of advocacy, education, and support.

Located in 221 Memorial Hall, the LGBT Resource Center is open 8am-5:30pm, Monday through Friday. Memorial Hall is located in the heart of campus right next to Sanford Stadium and across the street from Tate Plaza.

The LGBT Resource Center consists of a spacious reception area which houses our extensive library of over 1000 books, a collection of current magazines, a growing DVD library of both entertaining and educational films, several varieties of organizational and education pamphlets, and sexual health resources.

Our student lounge provides a place where you can rest, socialize, eat lunch, or study between classes. The lounge is equipped with three computer stations, a microwave, and small refrigerator. There is also a small conference room which is often used by various student organizations for leadership meetings. To reserve the conference room, please submit this reservation form.

The LGBT Resource Center provides a variety of programs and services to increase awareness and foster understanding of issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Some of the Center’s signature programs include: Celebration of National Coming Out Day, an LGBT History Month Display, Transgender Day of Remembrance, and Lavender Graduation.

Along with our signature events, the LGBT Resource Center hosts a number of educational programs for the UGA campus community that provides opportunities to dialogue and address some of the complicated issues that surround sexual and gender identity. Some of these programs include our Let’s Talk About It and Gender Transcender discussions series and our Lunch with Leaders program in which students have lunch with an LGBT-identified leader in the community who shares their story of coming out and career trajectory.

The staff of the LGBT Resource Center is deeply committed to ensuring that all students regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression have a place where they can feel, express, and be their true, authentic self while attending the University of Georgia. Come in and say hello!
