Women and LGBT Center

The Women and LGBT Center empowers students to increase awareness and understanding of issues relating to gender and sexuality. The Center gives voice for women and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, with purpose to eliminate barriers, diminish prejudices, and create a supportive climate and space for all.

We reach out to the SMU community to create dialogue around gender issues and LGBT initiatives. Through our student organizations, you have the opportunity to make a mark on this campus. And, through our programs, you have the opportunity to enrich your campus experience and create a supportive climate and space for all.
