Queer Coffeehouse is an informal community hour for students to share dialogue with each other, build community, and develop stronger connections. One Coffeehouse each month is dedicated to a specific topic.
Come by to enjoy coffee while getting to know your fellow Tech community.
All coffee hours occur in person. Please RSVP on Engage.
Email William Britto for more information.
Graduate Student Coffeehouse!
Queer Coffeehouse is back and this year we have special coffeehouses dedicated to graduate students only! Join us and other graduate students at Tech as we build community throughout the fall semester with iced coffee and other treats! This will be an opportunity to socialize, converse, and engage in cultural discourse. This new initiative is in collaboration with Grad Pride!

Thursday, March 13 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. | Neurodiversity with ODS
It’s no secret that research increasingly points to a significant overlap in populations that hold queer identities and neurodivergent identities. Join for a discussion about what this looks like for you, how it affects you, and how these two identities do (or do not) intersect to influence your sense of self.
Thursday, March 27 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.| TDOV Edition
This week, we'll be hearing from a few graduate students that will share about their experiences being trans in STEM and sharing about how their identities add to, influence, and shape their research and/or work!
