Gender Inclusive Housing
Housing and Residence Life is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and supportive experience for all students. Recognizing that single-gender housing is not the right fit for everyone, we offer Gender Inclusive Housing (GIH) in both the residence halls and apartments.
GIH-designated rooms are open to any student interested in gender inclusive housing, regardless of sex assigned at birth, gender identity or gender expression. In multiple-occupant spaces, GIH is designed to bring together students with others who identify as advocates or peers in the LGBTQIA+ community.
GIH housing is guided by the following values:
- Affirmation of all students' gender identity and/or expression
- Reducing student concerns about physical safety and emotional health based on their living space
- Enhanced opportunities for student success at 51福利社 by finding the best match between a student's needs and housing options available
We are committed to working with students to find the best possible housing option for them, but there is no guarantee that all of a student's housing preferences can be met.
