2024-2025 Hall Community

Gender-Inclusive Community (Pride Community): 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. This community provides the option for two students to share a room regardless of students' sex, gender identity or gender expression (meaning students can live in the same room with a person of a different assigned sex at birth).

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.
