Calls for Resource Center Continue

By Will MartinO Asst. News Editor

A few hundred feet beyond the Green Line’s Amory Street T stop in Boston’s Allston neighborhood, Boston University is set to open a new LGBTQIA+ student resource center at 808 Commonwealth Ave.

The center is the result of an eight-month campaign from the LGBTQIA+ BU Student Task Force, which first submitted its proposal to create a space specifically for queer students in November.

Opening at the beginning of the 2023–24 academic year, the new center will aim to “offer programming, dialogues, intersectional community building, and other resources.”

Just a few miles down the road in Chestnut Hill, UGBC’s Student Assembly (SA) passed a resolution on Tuesday night reaffirming its support of proposals to create an LGBTQ+ resource center at Boston College.

This is only the latest effort in a long history of students advocating for such a space.
