Q*mmunity Leaders

The Q*mmunity Leaders are a group of student peer educators that strive to cultivate a more welcoming, safer, and accepting campus environment for LGBTQ+ individuals at UD. Through engaging our peers with intentional conversations, presentations, programs, and events, we can continue to raise awareness of, and build a community of support for, the LGBTQ+ community.

Spectrum

Spectrum's mission is to provide a strong, supportive community for UD's LGBTQ+ students with the hopes of further spreading awareness, acceptance, and resources relating to queer issues and culture. To achieve its mission, Spectrum provides regular discussion forums about topics relevant to LGBTQ+ students and allies. Additionally, the organization hosts events and activities to provide an outlet for current students and other members of UD’s LGBTQ+ community.

Faithful Ally Retreat

During this retreat, Faithful Ally, we will build upon the understanding that all are created in the image and likeness of God and that we all embody a spark of the Divine. Student leaders will share their experience and create open spaces for safe dialogue where participants can explore the intersection of identities as both people of faith and as LGBTQ+ Allies.
