Created in 2002, the LSC’s Identity Collectives provide students with the opportunity to build community and talk together both within their specific collectives and in inter-group dialogues. The Collectives provide space for identity exploration and support. Each collective group is facilitated by trained faculty, staff, and students. Please note: We ask that you self-identify with the collective that you wish to join. If you have general questions about the collectives, please contact Karla Benson Rutten.
