Welcome to the LGBTQ+ Resource Center

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is one of the nation’s top campuses for LGBTQ+ students and is currently rated 4.5 stars by Campus Pride as on LGBTQ+ friendly University. We have earned one of the highest score attainable in terms of creating a safe and welcoming campus for LGBTQ+ students and their allies.

Part of why UWM scores so high every year is because our dedication to the students’ experience goes far beyond just the LGBTQ+ Resource Center. We actively engage with other departments on campus to create an affirming and welcoming educational environment for all students. Our campus has also been home to some groundbreaking strides for the LGBTQ+ community.

Learn more about our history and milestones. We continue our pioneering presence today and invite you to explore some of the reasons why we are such a dynamic campus for those who identify as LGBTQ+ or allies. Stop by or join the email list to receive updates about events & programs.

We are part of the Centers For Advocacy and Student Engagement (CASE)

CASE is a collective effort to educate, connect resources, and develop programming that advocates for all students, ourselves, and each other in order to impact change at structural, institutional, and systemic levels.

The members of CASE include the First-Generation+ Resource Center (FG+RC), the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer Plus Resource Center (LGBTQ+ RC), Military and Veteran’s Resource Center (MAVRC), and the Women’s Resources Center (WRC). Each of these Centers serve students by creating spaces, programs and resources that support each student’s journey through UWM. 

 CASE Shared Values

• Advocacy – Engage and uplift the voices of marginalized communities at UWM.
• Affirmation – Build a learning community that celebrates and respects students’ diverse experiences, identities, and self-worth.
• Empowerment – Motivate students to develop agencies and control over their college experience.
• Community Care – Foster belonging and shared responsibility for student success.
