Welcome to Week 9 of the semester! We have some affiliate events coming up soon with Drag Club and QSTEM so check those out. We are near the last third of the semester AND about a month away from our next break so y’all got this!!!

RITGA Eboard Needed

RITGA is RIT’s group for LGBTQ+ students. The goal of ritGA is to provide a space for people in the community to come together and feel safe in their identities through general meetings and club events. They are currently seeking interested members to be VP and Media Manager! Please contact Oli, the Treasurer, at bn8725@rit.edu with interest and questions.

Staff and Student Game Night!

QSTEM is having a Staff and Student Game night on November 8th 4:30pm-6:30pm in Erdle Commons. Get to know and hang out with some Very Cool People!

Capstone Survey

A queer student of color at RIT has asked us to share this survey with as many queer people as we can for their senior capstone project! The survey is about what people would like to see in an app that focuses on allowing queer people to experiment with their fashion digitally in a way that's affirming to their identity.
