Student Organizations

The list below includes student organizations & clubs with an LGBTQIA+ focus. Check out all student organizations on RamLink.

BAPPQ

BAPPQ is an organization aimed towards students of the “middle” orientations (i.e. Bi, Aro/Ace, Pan, Poly, and Queer among others). We meet once every other week to talk about current issues facing the LGBTQ+ community. We use this time to not only look at the world around us but also to focus on changing the narrative surrounding the community and to meet people to share our stories with. We encourage open and respectful discussion and love hearing the diverse opinions of people in our community. All are welcome! Club times and dates for the upcoming school year will be decided via a poll to see what works best for every one sent out on the second week of school. If you are interested in joining the club feel free to contact us on RamLink or via email.

Orgullo is a student organization that centers the experiences of people on campus who simultaneously hold Latine/x and LGBTQIA+ identities.

We also have great discussions that enrich our knowledge, and we have fun together at cultural events.

Rainbow Trout

Rainbow Trout aims to provide a safe space for LGBTQIA+ students to participate in outdoor activities and education with no expectations of prior experience or skill. Our motivation behind starting the organization was to create a judgment-free zone and foster relationships between students with similar backgrounds and interests, but is open to everyone. This is a social organization that wants to bring people together through activity. The club hopes to engage in hiking, fishing/fly fishing, rock climbing, ecological education, and other activities. We intend to meet on Monday evenings on a roughly biweekly basis. On top of regular meetings, we will host occasional events on weekends. General meetings aim to inform/train members on safety and tips for whatever activity will follow.

The group is open to LGBTQIA+ and allied individuals at CSU and centers around advocacy, opportunities for learning and connection, and both personal and systemic support.

Queer Peers: a peer-based group for LGBTQIA+ students to find support, belonging, mindful engagement in community, connection with peers who hold shared identities, and to bring whatever is on their minds and hearts.

Queer Peers Resiliency Group: a subgroup of the Queer Peers that seeks to highlight and enhance LGBTQIA+ student resilience, identity exploration, self-esteem, and well-being. It is a space for students to connect around their experiences, moments of joy, struggles, and what being queer and trans means to us.
