Hall Director & Gender and Sexuality Advisor

Gender & Sexuality Associate

Shutesbury, Massachusetts

Working at the GSC is one way for me to continue learning about the issues I care about and engage with others to build an affirming and growth-inspiring community for everyone. I'm interested in healthy sexuality, examining power and privilege, eating breakfast, and making up words.

Gender & Sexuality Center Associate

Westfield, NJ

Majoring in Political Science

I love making bad puns, good activism and chocolate-chip cookies. I’m working at the GSC to keep up what made me love Carleton—openness about sexuality and awesome programming on feminist and gender issues—as well as take a role in leading the Carleton community in the areas, like sexual violence prevention, that could use everyone’s participation.

First and foremost I care about bodies. If we empower bodies we can prevent sexual violence, combat classism, racism and all forms of injustice, and allow for healthy expressions of gender and sexuality. I want Carleton to be full of happy bodies, and I think dance parties help.

Majoring in English

I work at the GSC to try to make everybody feel as welcome at Carleton as I possibly can. I'm here to try and improve the quality of the campus environment for LGBTQA people through my work at the GSC and by being a friend--so whether you want to discuss queer issues on Carleton campus or the merits of Victorian literature (of which there are many!) feel free to stop by the GSC or look me up!

St. Paul, Minnesota

Majoring in Sociology/Anthropology

Although I'm not a fan of peddling, I love canoeing, playing card games, and feta cheese.  I believe that the GSC exemplifies Carleton's commitment to community by actively working to provide a welcome and safe space and promoting open discussions to heighten awareness and increase understanding of important issues here on campus.  There is so much growth that occurs outside of the classroom, and the resources and wealth of knowledge available to us here at Carleton are by no means limited to the courses we take.  Addressing issues of equality, social justice, personal and collective identity, and safety are critical to our pursuit of higher education and inextricably linked to matters of respect.  I'll be in Chicago in the fall, but cannot wait to get to know you and get involved this winter and spring!  Contact me anytime!

New York, New York

Majoring in Religion

I'm a junior who loves bread, friends, Bruce Springsteen, theater and playing outside. I love working at the GSC because it is an amazing opportunity to help make Carleton a more comfortable, safe and fun place for all. Plus I get to learn a lot from people who are way cooler than I could ever hope to be and have an obscene amount of fun while doing it. Please come find me and say hi!

Columbus, Ohio

Majoring in Biology

I enjoy big sunglasses, wild arm movements, and happy music. I want Carleton to be an inviting and fun place for everyone and I see working at the GSC as a way to do that. My favorite thing about Carleton is the opportunity it provides to be whoever I want to be and explore whole new things. If you see me around campus you should definitely say hello; I'll probably be wearing a brown puffy vest.

Gender & Sexuality Associate

Plymouth, MN

Majoring in Political Science/IR

I want everyone to feel safe and supported in our community, and being involved in the GSC seems like a great way to try to make that happen. My favorite topics of conversation include navigating identities, dismantling power structures, practicing nonviolence, and empowering everybody. For kicks I like to cook, doodle, play the mandolin, and go on long walks. I'd love to hear about your ideas and stories and dreams, so come find me in the GSC to chat!

Winchester, Massachusetts

Majoring in Cognitive Studies

Carleton has helped me grow as an individual and I want to ensure that others can find spaces and ways to grow here too. I want Carleton to be not only a safe place, but a place where people are comfortable and eager to address and reflect on issues that are sometimes uncomfortable. I think the GSC and the programming it puts on provide these spaces and opportunities and that’s great! I’m into nonviolence, communal and conscious eating, and storytelling. For funsies, I like pretending I can play the guitar and watching LOST.

New Hampshire

Majoring in Psychology

I love Carleton and I want to help make it an even safer and more supportive environment. I think that sexual violence affects everyone in our community and that it is all of our responsibilities to step up and do something about it. I enjoy reading and learning about gender, LGBT issues, body image, feminism and how to be the best ally I can be. I adore my housemates, scrabble, darts and most books.

Gender & Sexuality Center Associate

West Hartford, Connecticut

What I love about Carleton is the opportunity for students to constantly explore and learn about subjects that they never even knew that they had an interest in. And it's that spirit that first led me to want to work at the GSC. Now, I am excited about the ability to bring people from across campus together to stop sexual violence here at Carleton.

Majoring in Studio Art and Geology

Things I love: typewriters (I own three), peas (I eat them everyday), leopard print (my power color), books (not reading), and movies (all).  I love being in the GSC, I love our library, I love WA house, and I love working as much as I can to help make Carleton a safe place for everybody.

Gender & Sexuality Center Associate

Germantown, Tennesee

Majoring in Sociology/Anthropology

Since coming to Carleton, I’ve found a home in the friends I’ve made through GSC-sponsored events, and I want others to have the same opportunity.  I’m very passionate about ensuring the GSC and Carleton in general are comfortable and supportive places for people to explore their identities, learn from each other, and find community.  I’m also a fan of nonviolence, live music, conscious consumption, people, sincerity, affirmations, and the creativity of those around me.  I eat a peanut butter banana sandwich almost every day.  Anytime you want to chat or host a dance party, stop by or send me an email!
