COD and the LGBTQIA+ Community

College of DuPage offers a variety of clubs and resources for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Pride Alliance

Pride Alliance aims to create a safe, welcoming community for LGBTQIA+ students and supporters, encourage education and discussion around LGBTQIA+ issues, and provide an avenue for students to get involved with the wider LGBTQIA+ community and its various causes. Members support, promote awareness, and educate on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and straight issues with regard to diversity of sexual orientation and gender identity. Learn More

Safe Zone at College of DuPage

Safe Zone is an association of students, faculty and staff who are focused on building a safe, affirming and welcoming campus for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Safe Zone members are individuals who are willing to provide a safe haven, listening ear, and support for LGBTQIA+ people or anyone dealing with sexual orientation or gender identity/expression issues. Safe Zone members can display a placard in their office, classroom or residence showing that they are a friend to the LGBTQIA+ community.
