Queer & Trands Advocacy Center Mission

The QTRAC serves as the central hub for advancing Queer and Trans liberation for the entire Roger Williams University community. We advance the liberation of RWU Queer & Trans people by fostering equity-minded leaders through intersectional training, advocating for more inclusive policies and services, and directly addressing the specific needs of Queer and Trans community members.

The QTRAC is dedicated to supporting you and your needs as you begin your journey as an RWU hawk. Whether you are looking to connect with new potential friends, learn about gender & sexuality, or need help amplifying your voice on campus - we are here for you.

Top Resources for Students:
