Who We Are

The LGBTQ Student Resource Center is a tri-institutional office serving students at Metropolitan State University of Denver, Community º£½ÇÖ±²¥ of Denver, and University of Colorado Denver. We are a resource for those seeking information and/or support related to gender identity, sexual orientation, romantic orientation, and/or similar experiences. We are a community for all.

Since its founding in 1992 as Colorado’s first campus LGBTQ+ support organization, the LGBTQ Student Resource Center has fostered acceptance, understanding, and personal growth through community education, engagement, and support services.

The LGBTQ Student Resource Center is located in the Tivoli Student Union, Room 213. Our business hours are Monday to Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During these times visitors can browse the more than 2,000 books and videos in our library, ask about training programs, seek additional resources or just relax in our social space.

Our dedicated staff includes the director, Tyrell Allen, assistant director, Bleu Vargas, and our student staff members. Input and involvement from the entire campus community is welcomed.

Our Mission

The LGBTQ Student Resource Center is a tri-institutional student fee-funded department that strives to improve the campus climate for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer students. We do this by fostering acceptance and understanding through educating the campus community about issues related to this population and developing programming that unites diverse communities of people. Additionally, we provide support services and growth opportunities for LGBTQ students to realize their fullest potential.

Library

Our library contains 2,000+ books and DVDs covering LGBTQ topics, ranging from fictional novels and poetry to biographies and reference material that can be checked out and read at your leisure! If you’d like to take a look at our collection more easily or search for a particular topic, .

Buttons

We make over 2000 buttons every semester displaying various pride flags, pronouns, LGBTQ themes, activists, and other miscellaneous designs. We always have plenty in the backspace of our office and at any events where we are tabling, so don’t be afraid to stop by and grab a few!
