The Stonewall Center provides support, advocacy, and programming for LGBT and allied students, staff, and faculty at UMass Amherst and for the larger Pioneer Valley. We also seek to educate the campus and local community about heterosexism, genderism, and sexual and gender prejudice in order to create a more inclusive and welcoming climate for bisexual, gay, lesbian, queer, and transgender individuals and their allies.

Upcoming Events

The Stonewall Center is currently hiring work-study students for the 2008-09 school year. If you have a work-study award and are interested in applying, please call or email the center.

****************

The UMass Amherst Stonewall Center and LGBT Associates of Western Massachusetts are compiling a Transgender Resource Guide for Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut. The guide will include detailed information about local transgender-friendly therapists, electrologists/laser hair removal specialists, hair stylists, cosmetologists, endocrinologists, chest and facial surgeons, primary care physicians, and nurse practitioners.

If you know of a transgender-friendly professional whom we should contact about being listed or are a transgender-friendly professional who would like to be included in the guide, please email the Stonewall Center: stonewall@stuaf.umass.edu.

The guide will be available on our website in August.
