Lavender Orientation, started in Fall 2017 by student leaders and sponsored by Pride Alliance, arose from the need for new and transfer students to find LGBTQ+ life, students, and resources at Mason. Lavender Orientation has, over time, passed to the LGBTQ+ Resources Center so we can highlight and include LGBTQ+ student leaders across campus as they search for new members and connections.
In addition to this role as student affairs practitioners creating spaces for our Mason community to connect, Lavender Orientation also kicks off our lifecycle programming for LGBTQ+ students (culminating in Lavender Graduation). While the focus has historically been on new or transfer students, it has also served to re-acquaint returning LGBTQ+ students with each other, our Center, and the resources Mason offers.
This Fall 2023's Lavender Orientation will be held in-person, on Instagram Live (@lgbtq.mason), and our Queer Buddy System Discord (go.gmu.edu/QueerDiscord) to ensure broad engagement and availability.
