The Office of IDEAL’s Gender and Sexuality Inclusion Center, in conjunction with IDEAL’s Student Engagement unit, partners with University Housing and Residential Life to serve as an administrator of the Gender Inclusive Housing Living Learning Community in White Hall.
The GSI Center partners with the resident assistant to provide LLC members with intentional programming, community-building opportunities, tailored resources, and access to programs that foster belonging and identity development.
Through this partnership, students are also connected to broader first-year engagement opportunities, including the Inclusive Fellows Initiative, to help them build relationships, leadership skills, and a stronger sense of connection across campus.
