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 Karlie Burrell 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!

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.
