The Universities at Shady Grove seek to empower and fully support lesbian, gay, bi/pansexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, asexual, Two Spirit, and all other non-dominant sexual and gender identities. We also support LGBTQIA+ faculty and staff, and allies of all identities. We strive to make USG an inclusive and safe place for students to learn and express themselves.
