LGBTQIA+ Employee Network

Community, resources, advocacy

The LGBTQIA+ Employee Network is a networking and advocacy space for Colorado State University employees, hosted through the Office for Inclusive Excellence. This group is open to all CSU faculty, staff and graduate students. 

Our goal is to create networking opportunities, shared resources, social inclusion, advocacy, and support so that all employees feel they have a community within CSU and in Northern Colorado.

What does the Employee Network do?

• We host two to four social opportunities each month, such as a get-together over coffee on the final Friday of every month, happy hours, and more.
• Share updates in a monthly newsletter, including local ways to get involved in the Northern Colorado community. 
• Provide a connection to the Pride Resource Center and opportunities to mentor, volunteer, or connect with CSU students.
• Provide space on our Teams channel for community members to connect, ask questions, share resources, and create meet-up events of their own – bowling, golfing, game nights, axe throwing, and other fun activities.
• Provide support to new employees or prospective employees about navigating CSU and the greater Northern Colorado landscape. 
• Advocate on behalf of CSU employees’ needs.
• Crowdsource useful resources such as doctors, therapists, barbers, and more.
