Queer Student Association (QSA)
This student organization allows LGBTQ+ students to gain leadership skills, access volunteering opportunities, and time to socialize with peers. QSA throws social and educational events to build support throughout our campus queer community. If you have questions or would like to join, email us at qsa@stkate.edu.
Annual Queer Prom
Typically held each April, St. Kate's hosts a Queer Prom for LGBTQ+ students with activities such as drag performances, spin-the-wheel and prizes, games, crafts, food, and more. We have also collaborated with other ACTC schools for a multi-campus Queer Prom filled with activities, performances, and even more extravagance.
Transgender Visibility & Remembrance
Every year, Student Affairs, Equity, and Belonging provides fact sheets, pronoun pins, informational resources, and a space to remember trans people lost to violence. We also provide a list of gender-affirming care locations in the Twin Cities and Minnesota, which can also be found below.
