As the first Catholic, Jesuit higher education institution to establish an LGBTQ Resource Center (2008), Georgetown celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community and draws upon our commitment to continuing to advance equity and inclusion. This month, the university community celebrates LGBTQ+ History Month, also known as “OUTober.”
This month provides an opportunity to reflect on the histories of LGBTQ+ students, faculty and staff within Georgetown and the contributions of our academic community to the broader work of promoting equity and inclusion.
During October, you are invited to explore the content on the Celebrating LGBTQIA+ History and Culture at Georgetown landing page and to join any of the upcoming events planned for OUTober, including celebrating National Coming Out Day with the LGBTQ Resource Center, Mass of Belonging in Dahlgren Chapel and more.
You are invited to check back regularly for new stories and event information. Thank you for joining Georgetown in celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month.
