Trans and Genderqueer Students
At the Student Health and Wellness Center, we believe every student deserves care that affirms their identity. We want all transgender and genderqueer members of our community to be sure they are not alone and not ignored. We strive to fulfill their needs so they can feel healthy, safe, and empowered. To help determine a regimen that’s best for you, we encourage you to visit our office and speak with a professional who will personally guide you to fulfill your needs.
