RCSGD Resources
The RCSGD has a QTBIPOC Empowerment Coordinator that hosts weekly Empowerment Hours for QTBIPOC students.
QTBIPOC Empowerment Hours is a space intentionally for QTBIPOC to exist, rest, rejuvenate, and come together as a community to thrive individually and collectively.
These weekly spaces take place every Monday from 6:00pm - 8:00pm in the RCSGD Lounge.
