Campus Resources

Consistent with Title IX, Springfield College does not discriminate against any person on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other legally protected class in admission and access to, and employment and treatment in, its programs and activities. Students and employees are protected against unlawful acts of sexual violence, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and gender-based harassment, collectively known as sexual- and gender-based misconduct. The College is committed to responding promptly and effectively when it learns of any form of possible discrimination.

The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion aims to cultivate and sustain a campus climate that is inclusive, student-centered, pluralistic, and safe. In short: we want to help make the campus as inclusive as possible.

Safe Zone helps to create a more accepting, affirming, supportive, inclusive, and equal environment for LGBTQ individuals at Springfield College through educational training sessions for faculty members, staff members, and students. Sessions are designed to generate greater awareness, knowledge, empathy, and commitment to action regarding issues, concerns, and inequality related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

The Springfield College All-College Gender & Sexuality Alliance (GSA) is composed of students and employees who are committed to reducing inequality faced by LGBTQ+ people at Springfield College and beyond. This includes (but is not limited to) gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, transgender, and gender nonconforming people. We have an email list, meet once every two to three weeks, generate campus programming, and engage in other activities.

The Springfield College Counseling Center offers free, professional, and confidential counseling services to undergraduate and graduate students. We are a staff of professionals, which includes graduate associates, who counsel students seeking our services for a variety of reasons. In addition to one-on-one counseling, the Center offers group counseling sessions for additional student support.
