Center for Gender and Sexuality

The Jacksonville University Center for Gender + Sexuality (CGS) offers students and the campus community a welcoming central location for access to cultural resources, campus events, and mentorship support to increase opportunities for LGBTQIA+ and women as future leaders. In partnership with the Jacksonville community and community leaders, the CGS emphasizes experiential learning and leadership opportunities for LGBTQIA+ and women students. The CGS promotes the Women’s and Gender Studies minor and connects students to campus resources for health and wellness specific to LGBTQIA+ people and women. The CGS generates opportunities to reframe campus perspectives on how the intersectionality of gender, sexuality, race, age, class, nationality, ethnicity, ability, and other identities impacts the social, cultural, educational, and political experience of the Jacksonville University campus community.
