QGrads Census!

Hello all!

On April 10, representatives from QGrads and other LGBTQ+ student groups will be meeting with President Kotlikoff, Dean Love, and other administrators to share the concerns and questions of our members. We will share an update after this meeting on what was discussed and any new information that might help you all.To prepare for the meeting, we are launching a new QGrads census. This will be an anonymous survey covering some questions about how we can improve QGrads, some questions about our members' general well-being, and a couple fun questions. Please consider helping us by filling this out and sharing it with any other QGrads you know!

QGrads Census Here!
