The LGBTQ+ Council at Saint Anselm College is made up of students, faculty and staff who offer support and resources, and seek to respond to and raise awareness of the needs of identifying students in our community. We live by Saint Anselm College's Benedictine Catholic tradition of creating an inclusive environment, and seek to foster a College community that is respectful of all people. This group seeks to be a resource and to create a safe place, and a judgment free community for all Anselmians.

Official Charge of the LGBTQ+ Council

The LGBTQ+ Council acts as a resource to the Chief Student Affairs Officer in identifying the ongoing needs of LGBTQ students and assist in implementing campus-wide educational programming regarding these matters.

The work of this LGBTQ+ Council will ensure that the needs of our students who are LGBTQ will be addressed according to the college's Statement on Sexual Orientation and the Benedictine value of hospitality; specifically that each individual feels welcome in the Saint Anselm community.

The College is committed to inclusivity for all groups.
