We’ve collected those organizations whose purpose relates to the mission of the LGBTQ Resource Center. If you do not see your org listed and would like to, please email lgbtq@missouri.edu.

organization.

Queer Trans People of Color (QTPOC)
MU LGBTQ Resource Center
The purpose of the Queer Trans People of Color is to create a safe, supportive and inspiring space for queer and trans people of color. QTPOC is for those who feel an extra strain for being both LGBTQ and a person of color. Our goal is not only to support the individuals who find themselves at the mentioned intersection of identities but also to educate our campus and communities on the struggles and experiences we encounter.
We are in no way an exclusive group: people not a part of the LGBTQ community or of color are more than welcome to be a part of our community.
Meetings consist of community building; being our honest, true and beautiful selves in a safe and respectful space; and event programming and planning for how to educate our campus and communities.
To get more info, please email mizzouqtpoc@gmail.com
Oasis
Oasis is a new trans-focused student org which aims to include all who identify outside of their gender assigned at birth, while uplifting the most marginalized in the community through the promotion of intersectionality in conversation. We will facilitate discussions on different topics and organize a taskforce that addresses the concerns of trans students on campus.
Closed meetings (limited to trans and gender-nonconforming individuals) are every Thursday at 6 p.m. in the LGBTQ Resource Center.
For more information, feel free to email mizzouoasis@gmail.com.
Aces & Aros
Mondays at 7 p.m.
LGBTQ Resource Center
The purpose of Aces & Aros is to create a brave, supportive, and inspiring space for asexual and aromantic people. Aces & Aros is for those who feel an extra strain for being marginalized within the LGBTQ community. Our goal is not only to support the individuals who find themselves at the mentioned intersection of identities but also to educate our campus and communities on the struggles and experiences we encounter.

Greek Allies
Greek Allies works specifically within the Fraternity and Sorority community here at MU. Focusing on the core values of each chapter and organization, especially on their commitment to brotherhood or sisterhood, Greek Allies finds allies to the LGBTQ community in each chapter to educate the community, and to empower those members of the community who are both Queer and Greek. Greek Allies stands to educate and foster a positive environment, moving beyond tolerance to active support.
Membership is open and welcoming. Join us and help make all of Mizzou a safe and welcoming environment for all.
