Diversity and Equity Office Associations

Many of our Women and Gender Studies students become involved in groups associated with the Diversity and Equity Office. Two of these groups include:

The Centre for Women and Trans People

Laurier's Centre for Women and Trans People is a student service that strives to build a community of people and ideas that challenge and examine gender inequalities. In an effort to instigate change, this woman- and trans-positive space offers an extensive collection of academic, community and informational resources, as well as opportunities to actively engage in activism and awareness campaigns.

The Rainbow Centre

The Laurier Rainbow Centre is dedicated to enhancing the university environment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer individuals in the Laurier community through awareness, promotion, education, advocacy and support.
