About Gender & Sexuality Programs
Originally founded as a Women’s College and with an impressive track tape of LGBTQIA inclusion over the past decade, Connecticut College is committed to fostering an equitable community on our campus. In service of that objective, Gender and Sexuality Programs houses both our LGBTQIA and F.R.E.E Centers, both of which are located in adjacent campus buildings - Burdick and Smith Houses, respectively.
Both of these centers serve as vibrant community hubs where dialogue and exploration of gender and sexuality is encouraged through social events, educational offerings, resource libraries, and more. In each of these spaces, visitors will be greeted by trained student staff who are able to offer resources on a variety of topics, as successfully as connect students with on campus resources, as needed.

I’m currently a sophomore at Conn - from firsthand experience, it is an incredibly welcoming university especially in regard to LGBT+ kids. The LGBT+ center is just across the street from the college center and I’ve participated in a ton of really entertaining events and programs there (for instance, I was in QueerPeer my freshman year, a group designed to link underclassmen with upperclassmen to help verb to life on campus).
