Supports advisor

Your 2SLGBTQ+ advisor is someone you can connect with to have a discussion, get answers to your questions and more. Available for 2SLGBTQ+ students, your advisor can help you access resources on-campus and off and get guidance and advice to help you feel welcomed and empowered to succeed.

Your advisor offers:

  • Culturally responsive support.
  • Workshops promoting awareness and education of 2SLGBTQ+ communities and navigating issues such as homophobia and transphobia.
  • Access to community resources.
  • Support and advocacy for pronoun and name changes, identity and gender expression.
  • Connection and community building with other 2SLGBTQ+ learners and campus Gender Sexuality Alliances (GSAs).
  • Participation in events and experiences celebrating 2SLGBTQ+ communities.
  • Guidance for applying to NSCC awards, scholarships and bursaries for 2SLGBTQ+ students.
