Middlebury’s Prism Center for Queer and Trans Life provides a vibrant place for students, faculty, and staff to gather and find community with shared identities and experiences.
The Center creates a sense of belonging for the campus community where we can explore gender, sexuality, and romantic identities. We aspire to build a just community that foregrounds critical engagement with intersectional systems of oppression.
- We provide outreach, education, consultation, resources, support, programming, and advocacy services for students, staff, and faculty of all genders and sexual and romantic orientations.
- We use a holistic approach to student development and empowerment that fosters space for identity exploration, community building, academic success, leadership development, and professional growth.
- We center on the experiences of queer and trans people of color.
We Are Here For You!
We Envision...
A campus community free of oppression and discrimination inspired by a shared responsibility to affirm and celebrate all sexual, romantic, and gender identities and expressions; to build coalitions across identity groups; to advocate for equity and inclusion on behalf of ourselves and others; to serve in solidarity in visible and impactful ways; and to actively dismantle racism, heterosexism, and cissexism through transformative and socially-just practices.
