We stand on the shoulders of giants -- many staff and faculty who worked tirelessly (on top of their other jobs) to make Harvard a leader in LGBTQ policies and programs. We have built community since 2003, starting informally, coming together officially in 2019, and establishing ourselves more firmly as employees continue to return to campus. We welcome you to join us!
The mission of the LGBTQ+ Staff and Faculty Employee Resource Group (QERG) of Harvard University is to ensure that Harvard is a welcoming and inclusive workplace for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, and queer employees. The QERG works with the University’s many schools, offices, Harvard University Police, and LGBTQ+ leaders in our shared goal of ensuring Harvard is a great place to both work and learn.The QERG serves as a visible, accessible resource for LGBTQ+ employees and will provide recruitment, networking and career development opportunities.
QERG hosts a number of events each term, including coffee hours, after-work social hours, queer book club meetings, and more. Sign up for our email list or join us on Teams to learn about events as they’re scheduled!
