Professional Staff

The LGBTQA Resource Center is a professionally staffed office within Student Life. We are one of seven professionally staffed cultural centers on campus that together make up Northeastern University Cultural and Spiritual Life.

Student Leadership

Welcome and Operations Assistants

Each semester, the Center employs 10 to 15 Welcome and Operations Assistants. The Welcome and Operations Assistant team works to make the Center’s student lounge a vibrant and welcoming space for students on campus. Welcome and Operations Assistants support the Center’s community by caring for our communal spaces, orienting students to all that the Center offers, and supporting Center programming and events.

Peer Resource Navigators

Peer Resource Navigators are student employees who support our community’s access to LGBTQIA2S+ services and resources on and off campus through the Resource Navigation Program. Peer Resource Navigators also assist students interested in the Affirmation Access Project, and they promote connection to the broader campus community by leading peer-to-peer outreach initiatives with student organizations and campus partners.

Social Media Assistants

Social Media Assistants collaborate with the Center’s staff to plan and execute digital outreach strategies, design for print and social media, and create content.

Queer Assembly

The Queer Assembly brings together leaders from LGBTQIA2S+ focused student groups and organizations across campus. Through collaboration, mutual support, and access to development opportunities, the Queer Assembly ensures that student organizations and groups are able to build connections on campus and amplify each other’s work.

QUEST Leadership Development Program

The QUEST Leadership Development Program provides opportunities for students to build leadership skills through a guided exploration of LGBTQIA2S+ leadership models, social change strategies, and organizational approaches. By combining theory with case studies and an optional experiential learning component, the program provides students with opportunities to build skills and practice leadership at the Center.
