Who We Are

Formally known as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual Support Services, our program works to provide advocacy and support for LGBTQIA students at the College as well as education and outreach to the entire Augsburg community in regards to gender identity/expression and sexual orientation.

Housed within the Department of Campus Activities and Orientation, LGBTQIA Support Services is here for you. Stop by our office to say hello or take part in one of the opportunities our office provides.

MISSION
The mission of LGBTQIA is to create an environment which gives space and time to voices which have been historically silenced. We establish a sense of community and support for LGBTQIA-identified individuals as well as an atmosphere of education and growth for the entire Augsburg community.

PHILOSOPHY
It is our philosophy to provide assistance and education for LGBTQIA-identified individuals as a first priority. Our second priority is to educate and support members of Augsburg who view themselves as allies.

EVENTS
LGBTQIA Support Services plans programs and events throughout the course of the year for social as well as educational purposes. These are some of the activities we anticipate through the year, so please check the College’s calendar for event dates and details!
