Get Involved
Queer life at Brandeis continues to be vibrant. Want to get involved?
Triskelion
Triskelion (Trisk) is Brandeis' GLBTQA student group. General Trisk meetings are held on Thursdays at 8 p.m. in Shapiro 328. Trisk welcomes students of all genders and sexualities to all club events.
In addition to weekly club meetings, Trisk has several branches that also hold meetings:
TransBrandeis is a Trisk group that meets to discuss transgender issues and life on campus. Two major projects that TransBrandeis is involved in were developing a gender-neutral housing program and creating gender neutral bathrooms around campus. For more information and to get involved, join the email list.
The Sex and Sexualities Symposium (SASS) is an intellectual discussion group that meets weekly in the Intercultural Center to discuss issues surrounding sexualities, gender and sex. SASS also holds an annual undergraduate sexualities research conference in April.
The Queer People of Color Coalition (QPOCC) provides a community and support system for queer people of color.
The Queer Resource Center
The Queer Resource Center (QRC) provides confidential peer counseling with a trained staff, dorm raps and a library of books, movies and other resources.QRC is closed for summer and will announce their Fall 2012 hours at the start of term.
