Arch (Coming Out)
Arch is a student-run social and support group for those who are in any stage of the coming out process. The group is completely safe and confidential.
Arch has a policy of strict confidentiality; that means your identity will be protected and kept anonymous. The doors are closed and locked during meeting times, and whatever is said during Arch stays within the group.
Arch is a great way to meet other people in the queer community, as well as a great forum to talk about coming out issues you have not been able to discuss with anyone else.

Tongues Untied: GLBTQ People of Color Discussions
Tongues Untied is a discussion group for LGBT People of Color and their Allies. Each discussion has a different
topic such as interracial dating, exploitation of queer people of color in the media, tokenism/exoticism, battling
homophobia within our own communities, breaking down stereotypes, and many more challenges that people of color face.
We also put together at least one event for the semester which anyone can volunteer to help with.
Tongues Untied is for students, faculty, staff, and all community members. ALL ARE WELCOME! Anonymity and
confidentially is very important to us, so what is said in Tongues Untied stays in Tongues Untied. Feel free to add us
to facebook.
Tongues Untied facilitators for the semester are: Jason Jackson.
