LGBTQ+ Community

Empowering LGBTQ+ Students

We’re proud to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community at Susquehanna University.

With events like the annual Pride celebration on Kurtz Lane, organizations like the Gender and Sexuality Alliance and spaces like the Erynn E. Reiss LGBTQ+ Resource Center, we provide opportunities for connection, support and celebration of all identities.

Blough-Weis Library

Newly renovated in 2014, the Blough-Weis Library is a cutting-edge facility for 21st century learners. Study pods, meeting rooms and computer bars give you plenty of spaces to work alone or in groups.

LGBTQ+ Employee Group

The LGBTQ+ employee group exists as a safe space for LGBTQ+ faculty and staff on campus to share joys and concerns, and to advocate for LGBTQ+-inclusive policies and attitudes on campus.
