Welcome to cuny.lgbt, a mutual aid space created by and for LGBTQIA+ students across CUNY. Here, we believe in showing up for one another by sharing resources, care, knowledge, and support in ways that affirm our identities and meet real needs. Whether you\u2019re looking for help, offering it, or simply seeking connection, you belong here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This website was created through the collaborative efforts of the 2026 LGBTQIA+ Health Fellows Program, an initiative founded and developed through the leadership and vision of Dr. Jan Oosting, Associate Professor, Nursing; Mateo Tebar, LGBTQIA+ Student Resource Assistant; and Anthony Sweeney, Associate Director of Student Life. Special recognition is extended to Tiya Williams, LGBTQIA+ Health Fellows Program College Assistant, for coordinating resources and supporting the website development. Additional recognition goes to Jesse Evans-Rice, Open Lab Manager, and Christina Chala, CUNY Central\u2019s Student Inclusion Office Manager, for their guidance, support, and contributions throughout the project. Their collective dedication and commitment helped make this resource possible, and it will continue to support the community for years to come. <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This project is made possible due to generous funding from the New York City Council Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual Caucus and the Office of the Mayor, and supported by The LaGuardia and Wagner Archives.<\/em><\/em><\/em>
