Graduate Students

The Cantú Queer Center is committed to affirming and supporting graduate students at UCSC. While all Cantú events and programs are open to students of every academic level, we recognize that graduate students often have unique experiences, needs, and schedules—and we’re here to help.

Ways we have supported graduate students
We’ve partnered with graduate students across disciplines to offer a range of programs and opportunities, including:
- Sharing research opportunities and interview requests
- One-on-one and group consultations on integrating queer, trans, and quare narratives into academic or professional work
- Lunch discussions
- Community hikes
- Writing circles
- Wellness offerings like yoga
