LGBTQIA+ FSCN

The BU LGBTQIA+ Faculty & Staff Community Network

Founded in January 2020 through BU Diversity & Inclusion, we seek to promote a deeper sense of community and celebrate identity among LGBTQIA+ faculty and staff across Boston University.

We consider ourselves an affinity network for LGBTQIA+ identified faculty and staff across the university, although we do not require anyone to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity to join or participate.

Our membership is over 250 faculty and staff members strong. We also pride ourselves on our strong collaboration with the Queer Activist Collective, an undergraduate student organization.

For questions about events and opportunities for engagement contact us at LGBTQIA-FSN-BOARD@bu.edu or sign up for our mailing list.
