This will be an opportunity to socialize, converse, and engage in cultural discourse. This new initiative is in collaboration with Grad Pride!

Coffeehouse Topics

Welcome Back! | Thursday, August 22 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. 

We'll share iced coffee and chat about what we got up to over the summer! 

General | Thursday, September 5 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.

This week will be a general coffee hour with no set topic, so don't be afraid to join in and tell us what's on your mind! 

Can I Get An A+ In Being Queer? | Thursday, September 19 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. 

Participants and facilitators will be invited to have a discussion about a question that rings in the minds of many- am I queer enough? Am I being queer "the right way?" (Spoilers: yes you are and that's not something that exists!) Join us to talk about TikTok knowing you're gay before you do, imposter syndrome, and whether it's still okay to call yourself bisexual if you don't like frogs or cuffing your jeans.

My Mind Feels Like a Dumpster Fire | Thursday, October 3 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. 

This week, we'll be discussing how scary it can be to feel so unsure about the future, and discussing strategies to cope and care for ourselves and each other. We hope you'll come just as prepared to share as you are to listen.

I'm Not Who I Was 5 Months Ago! | Thursday, November 7 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.

We'll be talking about navigating the holiday season and time with family as a new college student/newly out queer person/human that exists in the world. Whether this is a topic you feel completely lost about or you have some hard-earned expertise in, we'd love to see you there!
