Through the Center for Diversity & Inclusion, we offer 2 LGBTQ peer advising programs for students to receive information about LGBTQ life (either at AU, in DC, or in general). Both of these programs have been created so that students can get answers to the questions they have, whether it be about coming out, resources on and off campus, or how to get more connected with LGBTQ life.
Spectrum is our LGBTQ peer advising program that matches current or prospective students with a Spectrum Advisor, who is currently a student at American University. Someone interested in getting a Spectrum Advisor needs to fill out our Spectrum Request form.
After their experience in the program, one advisee stated, "I found that this experience which enabled me to talk to someone my own age about specific questions was very beneficial. My advisor did a great job answering all of my questions in great detail, and in a very friendly and personal way."
Connections is our LGBTQ Peer Chat Program, which provides a space for you to ask the center and trained peers questions about LGBTQ issues and concerns, resources, and LGBT life at AU and in DC. The chats are anonymous and allow you to get the information you need about the LGBTQ community. The chats are for anyone, regardless of identity, who wants more information about the LGBTQ community. Ask your questions anonymously here.
