Other RI Resources:
Queer and Trans Resource and Advocacy Center
As an extension of Roger Williams University’s Intercultural Center, the QTRAC is the office of the University that is tasked with being the central hub for queer-centric student & employee enrichment and advocacy.
The QTRAC takes the lead in providing Safe Zone Training for the RWU community. Students, staff, and faculty learn about topics related to gender identity, sexuality, and allyship during these trainings. The goal is to provide the necessary skills and knowledge folks need to interact appropriately across differences of gender and sexuality during their daily lives, as well as, advocate for systemic and institutional equity.
Directly meeting the unique needs of queer and trans students on campus is a key aspect of the QTRAC’s purpose. This support can take the form of their Kinship Collective Mentor program, their signature events, and their Queer and Trans Living-Learning Community, and advising various student groups that promote LGBTQIA+ equity.
