A Guide to Life at USC as an LGBT+ Student

By: Adriana Bernal Martinez ‘20

When coming to college, we’re eager to find our people. People we share interests with, and most importantly, people that will accept us.

It’s because of its bountiful resources for LGBT+ students. USC’s LGBT Resource Center is open to the public every weekday, ready for you to come visit whenever. Located in the second floor of the Student Union Building with plenty of resourceful assets for USC students to take advantage of, here is just a little bit of what the LGBT Resource Center has to offer.

Feminist Media Festival

By: Grace Carballo ‘17

USC WCA (Women of Cinematic Arts) launched the first annual feminist media festival on September 15th and I was thrilled to be there to witness the Opening Ceremonies.
