Gender & Sexuality
Welcome to the Gender & Sexuality Community Page!
The CCPD supports students and alumni as they navigate their career and professional development – we offer one-on-one advising, resume and cover letter reviews, workshops, networking opportunities, career fairs and more. Through our services, we are committed to serving and supporting students and alumni of all identities – in collaboration with our RWU community partners, we have designed the Identity/Affinity Communities to support, celebrate, and recognize students’ unique diversity and have curated spaces with helpful tools, resources and staff. You may identify with multiple communities, so we encourage you to explore the groups to find information that might be useful to you. The resources featured in these communities are not exhaustive, so feel free to contact us with any additional questions, resources, or information you think might be useful.
The Queer and Trans Resource and Advocacy Center (QTRAC)
As an extension of Roger Williams University’s Intercultural Center, the QTRAC serves as the central hub for individual students, student clubs, and University organizations that are dedicated to advancing gender equity and undoing heteronormativity on and off campus though programming, support, and co-curricular projects.
Grow Your Network
Networking is the most effective job search tool a student has. Making connections with RWU alumni and industry professionals are a great way to grow professionally and potentially identify new job and/or internship opportunities. Here you will find information about The Roger Connection and Identity-based professional associations related to Gender and Sexuality.
Employment Rights
When entering the workforce, it is important to know your rights as a candidate and as an employee. Knowing your employment rights can help to prevent and combat discrimination, particularly as it relates to Gender and Sexuality.

Search for Opportunities
When searching for a job or internship, it is valuable to know how an employer values and prioritizes diversity and inclusion in their organization. Here you will find a list of identity-based job boards and resources that will help you identify employers that have expressed a commitment to diversity and an interest in hiring diverse candidates.
