Mission Statement
Our office serves lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as individuals and as groups, including students, staff, faculty, alumni, allies, their friends and families, and the community at large. We recognize that other social identities intersect with and impact our daily experiences of our sexual and gender orientation, identity, and expression and that not all members of our communities self-identify in the same way. Honoring this diversity, we make a commitment to social justice as we foster student development and personal growth, and we cultivate an inclusive, open, and supportive community through education, collaboration, advocacy, programming, and resource provision.

The Center
The Spectrum Center is located on the third floor of the Michigan Union in room 3200. The Center is tastefully decorated with some reflection of the diversity of the community.
The Center consists of four individual offices, a cubicle, a workstation, and lounge and library space. The lounge area is small, but sufficient for small groups to meet and for lunchtime video showings to take place. There is also a gender inclusive restroom on the third floor.
