The Lavender Lounge is intended to be a space for LGBTQIA+ identifying folks at Â鶹ÊÓƵ to feel a sense of belonging, build community, and engage with educational, supportive, and intersectional programming.
The Lavender Lounge , as part of a collaborative effort between the student organization Sexuality and Gender Acceptance (SAGA), the Diversity and Equity Board (DEB) and the Intercultural Community Center (ICC). Located in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s multicultural hall, Pauley, one of the main goals of the Lavender Lounge is to foster conversation within Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s queer community on how to best support queer students from an intersectional lens.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s queer community has shown an unwavering committment to Occidental’s student body as a whole. The College is committed to providing a space that not only encourages queer student leaders and organizations to sustain their work, but also a space that celebrates their identities and accomplishments.
If you have a workshop, event or meeting that aligns with the mission of Lavender Lounge, or if you would like to study, relax or socialize in the Lavender Lounge, please use and a member of the ICC staff will be in touch with you shortly about granting you access to this space.
