Queer and Trans Resource and Advocacy Center

As an extension of Roger Williams University’s 跨文化中心, the QTRAC is the office of the University that is tasked with being the central hub for queer-centric student & 员工丰富和倡导.

协同制度变革

The QTRAC is constantly involved in discussions around campus about improving LGBTQIA+ inclusion at Roger Williams University. We partner with many RWU offices to help ensure that queer and trans folks encounter as few barriers to full and authentic participation as possible. This can take the form of advocating for changes to institutional policy, advising administrators about issues that specifically affect LGBTQIA+ folks, and providing resources that directly help queer and trans people. 

跨校园培训

Central to our advancement of gender equity and undoing heteronormativity is education. The QTRAC takes the lead in providing Safe Zone Training for the RWU community. 学生, 工作人员, and faculty learn about topics related to gender identity, 性, 以及训练中的盟友关系. Our goal is to provide the necessary skills and knowledge folks need to interact appropriately across differences of gender and 性 during their daily lives, 以及, advocate for systemic and institutional equity. 

学生支持与参与

Directly meeting the unique needs of queer and trans students on campus is a key aspect of the QTRAC's purpose. This support can take the form of our Kinship Collective Mentor program, 我们的标志性事件, our Queer and Trans Living-Learning Community, and advising our various student groups that promote LGBTQIA+ equity. We strive for each queer and trans student to feel a strong sense of belonging to the RWU community.
