Abstract

The Yellow House Student Centre for Equity & Inclusion launched in 2020 as Queen’s newest centre in the Division of Student Affairs. The Yellow House team is committed to working together with partners on and off campus to create a comfortable and accountable space for students who identify as Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and/or as People of Colour (QTBIPoC) to feel safe, create community, be empowered, celebrate their identity and flourish. Beyond creating a space for students to be themselves, the team also offers opportunities to support and empower QTBIPoC students who are interested in engaging with initiatives that actively dismantle oppressive, racist and colonial ideologies and practices. The Yellow House curates a suite of co-curricular programs and tools designed to develop acumen that build community and belonging, foster future changemakers, and connects students to university resources with a focus on connecting QTBIPoC students with QTBIPoC service providers. In this fireside chat-style session, panelists will introduce attendees to the Yellow House vision and programs and reflect on the possibilities and challenges of intersectional student support within university structures.
