GSRC Office Hours
Each quarter LGBTQIA+ partners from across campus host office hours in the GSRC. Their hope is to connect with LGBTQIA+ students as an additional resource and a chance for you to learn about their role at NU (and how you might be able to get involved in their work)! Each visitor hosts office ours weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly in the GSRC based on their availability. Find their exact dates and times on the GSRC's LGBTQIA+ Events google calendar!
