We can provide peer support to students looking to discuss important issues, however we do not provide trained mental health providers. If you are looking for professional counseling, we encourage you to visit the Center for Health and Wellness on campus.

Queerness is an umbrella term that is broadly used to refer to individuals and identities that are (currently) understood as culturally non-normative, especially of genders and sexualities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, and others. RIC offers a minor in Queer Studies, an interdisciplinary field of inquiry that examines the histories, lives, identities, experiences and struggles of queer people. This minor compliments a variety of majors and disciplines. Learn more about the Queer Studies minor.
