Student Resources
We like to think of our program as a center for all things related to gender, sexuality, advocacy, and inclusivity.
Student Groups
We work with student organizations including the following.
- Georgia Southern National Organization for Women (GSU-NOW)
- United for Reproductive and Gender Equity (URGE)
- Gay/Straight Alliance (GSA)
- Amnesty International
- Sexual Assault Student Educators (SASE)
Lactation Center
Located in the IAB room 1023 on the Statesboro Campus, this is a private and comfortable space for lactation with two changing tables, and free supplies (clothing, books, blankets, etc.). Please come use the space as needed. A “reserved” sign can be placed on the door when in use.
