Our Programs

OUT @ West Chester University
The OUT list is a wonderful way for you to show your WCU Pride! It showcases a list of participants who have chosen to share their lives and experiences with the entire campus in order to foster greater visibility and community for LGBTQIA+ Rams.
Lavender Graduation
Lavender Graduation is a special ceremony for LGBTQIA+ graduating undergraduate and graduate students to acknowledge their achievements, contributions, and distinctive experiences at West Chester University. For decades, students at colleges and universities have celebrated their academic achievements and heritages at specialized commencement events. These moments provide a sense of community for marginalized groups who often experience tremendous culture shock at their institutions.
