2024-2025 Themed Community

Gender-Inclusive Community: The Gender-Inclusive Community is a housing option where two students share a room, regardless of the students' sex, gender identity or gender expression. This means that students can live in the same room with a person of a different assigned sex at birth.

This community provides students a safe space and the flexibility to accommodate the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) students, allies, and others for whom cultural or identity considerations are needed.

Interested students must indicate in the housing application in the Residence Hall Portal that they are interested in the Gender-Inclusive Community. By selecting "yes" (you are interested), you'll be able to request a roommate of any gender.
