CWRU LGBTQ+ Faculty & Staff
The CWRU LGBT Center is dedicated to serving everyone in the campus community and is expanding programming, specifically for groups like faculty and staff. On this page, there are resources and important dates for events and meetings! On here, you will find information about Parent Space, Faculty & Staff Mixers, and LGBTQ+ Faculty & Staff Space.
This Space
This is a safe space for faculty and staff, who identify as LGBTQ+ to come together, vent, and learn about helpful resources as well as a space for intellectual/analytical discussions. This space is meant to be supportive and not a substitute for necessary/proper resources that one may need. there is also a level of confidentiality that will be maintained with this space. What is shared here stays here.
Our Vision and Mission:
LGBTQ+ Faculty & Staff Space seeks to promote the personal and professional growth for all LGBTQ+ identified and questioning faculty and staff at Case Western Reserve University, through our meetings, social events, sharing of resources, and workplace advocacy. We are dedicated to advancing research, education and public service that affirm the dignity and worth of every member of our community. We hope those who are not out or those exploring their queer identity can call this space home. Together, we are building a culture of respect, integrity, and equality where diversity is celebrated as a strength.

Parent Space is space that originally started as a meeting space that happened a few times a semester, for CWRU employees that are parents of LGBTQ+ children (of any age). This year, instead, there will be a google form for parents to submit questions through/ seeking support. Don't be afraid to reach out! Please click here for the link! (Only professional staff in the Center can view emails of who submitted questions)
