As an LGBTQ+ individual or ally, we strive to ensure that you feel safe, accepted, and celebrated during your time at DigiPen. To that end, we offer several on-campus resources and services designed to help you succeed as a student while feeling free to express your culture and identity as you see fit. We also understand that as you explore and interact with the world outside of DigiPen, it will be important to have access to off-campus resources for LGBTQ+ support. We’ve compiled a brief list of local and national organizations and services below as a starting point for you.
