About
Kutztown University's GLBTQ Resource Center is devoted to being the regional center for resources which create and support environments whereby the gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, intersex, and questioning students, faculty, administrators, staff, and alumni have access, inclusion, recognition, equality, and respect in all facets of higher education.
​
The GLBTQ Center was established February 3, 2005 and has been devoted to providing these resources to KU's students ever since, and continues to do so.
"Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it's a good place to start."
Jason Collins, first openly gay athlete in U.S. pro sports.
