Harvard Gender & Sexuality Caucus News, happenings and more for Harvard LGBTQ alumni, students, faculty and staff. Founded in 1984, HGSC is a leading voice for LGBTQ equality on campus.

The Harvard Gender & Sexuality Caucus (HGSC) is one of the leading voices for LGBTQ alumni, faculty, staff and students at Harvard University. Founded in 1984 as the Harvard Gay & Le***an Caucus, it has successfully pushed for a campus non-discrimination policy based on sexual orientation and then gender identity or expression, benefits for same-sex partners of Harvard employees, and created an endowment for scholars studying LGBTQ issues. The Caucus continues to advocate for equality and acceptance of LGBTQ people on campus through campaigns, conferences, events and advocacy.

We’re excited to launch the HGSC Mentorship Program, designed to create meaningful connections across our LGBTQ+ community and tap into the incredible breadth of experiences, perspectives, and life stages represented within HGSC!

Participants can sign up to be a mentor, mentee, or both. You certainly do not need to be at a particular career level or have formal mentoring experience to participate as a mentor.

As with any mentorship experience, participants will get out of the program what they put into it. We hope everyone will approach their pairing with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to invest in building a meaningful connection 👥.

The HGSC Mentorship Program will run through June. To help build a meaningful relationship, we encourage mentor-mentee pairs to connect approximately once a month, recognizing that schedules and circumstances may occasionally require flexibility.

If you are interested, please complete the interest form by Friday, September 4. We will do our best to create thoughtful pairings based on participants’ goals, experiences, interests, and what they are hoping to get out of the relationship.

We plan to announce matches in mid-September, followed by a brief virtual kickoff session to bring participants together, share the goals of the program, discuss expectations and tips for building a successful mentorship relationship, and help everyone get started 😊

Complete the mentorship interest form by September 4 here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelWohbRUIXkqJNPYE1yABnNo2LdNZsip-xkcRwXNorLeWBxQ/viewform?usp=send_form

It was fantastic to reconnect with all of you during the reunion meetup, with around 70 alums coming together for an evening of conversation, reflection, and renewed connection.

Some of our Board members had the chance to share a few remarks, followed by a thoughtful Q&A on HGSC’s work and the challenges we’ve navigated over the past year. Moments like these remind us how important it is to stay connected through shared purpose and collaboration, and this reunion felt even more meaningful as it came alongside the Harvard LavGrad celebration, with its strong focus on community, connection, and ongoing engagement.

Last but not least, if you’re interested in staying involved, please consider joining your local chapter or volunteering for one of our subcommittees by emailing [email protected]. There are many ways to contribute, and every bit of involvement helps strengthen our vibrant community!
