The Queer Social Committee works to create a welcoming and affirming campus climate for the LGBTQ+ and expanding community at UC Merced through positive social engagement. We host monthly gatherings, the Rainbow Lunch Series, specifically for our faculty, staff and post docs who identify as LGBTQ+ to ensure they have affirming space to build community, get to know each other, and find support through our monthly social interactions.
Additionally, every semester we host a gathering where our LGBTQ+ and Allies community can come together to celebrate, build relationships and learning about resources on campus. We are open to hosting other social opportunities but need the support of folks like you to assist with the planning.
