The MOSAIC Center supports students who belong to the LGBTQIA+ community by hosting events and programs that deepen a sense of community and connection, as well as knowledge and education, such as Queer Friendsgiving and Lavender Celebration.
As part of our commitment to cura personalis, or care for the whole person, we have expanded our services for students who specifically identify as part of the Trans community, which includes those who are transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming. The Gender Affirmation Support & Products Program provides resources and staff support for students who are navigating gender transition.
To learn more about this resource and/or to inquire about receiving support, students can schedule a meeting via Bookings.

Note: We decided to use the term trans/transgender to be as inclusive as possible of the diversity of gender identities and expressions in our campus community. We use trans/transgender as an umbrella term to describe those of many gender identities of those who do not identify or exclusively identify with their sex assigned at birth, including those who are genderfluid, trans masculine, trans feminine, genderqueer, nonbinary, two spirit, androgynous and may exist between and beyond binary gender constructs.
Seattle University’s policies and practices are aimed toward developing an environment that is inclusive and accessible for all students. This work builds upon nurturing a community that values diversity and promotes the dignity of all persons, including all who identify as trans/gender non-conforming. Below is a brief summary of available resources at Seattle University.
