We are aware that PCC’s physical closure may cause additional stress for many of you, and our priority is the safety and health of our community.
All QRC staff, including student advocates, are providing services remotely. We are currently working hard to figure out the best way to continue building community and offering support during this time, and we are open to your ideas and suggestions so we can best meet your needs!
During our regular hours, we will be available on Instagram, through email, and on Facebook. Our goal is to be able to offer a speedy response during our regular hours (please extend grace and understanding as we work out new systems in these unprecedented times).
If you need information about resources, support, or would just like to check in and chat, please feel more than welcome to reach out.

Support
As a diversity retention center, the QRC student advocates and coordinator provide support, resources, and referrals to Queer and Trans students with the ultimate goal of supporting students to achieve their academic goals.
