About

The Q+ Club (formerly the LGBTQ+ Friends Club) is Central Oregon Community College's student group for 2SLGBTQIA+ students and allies. It offers a positive, non-judgmental space through weekly meetings, parties, films, workshops, and events like Q+ Prom, and is tied to COCC's broader 2SLGBTQIA+ Programs, which include a student relief fund and scholarships. Students can drop in to weekly meetings at the Multi-Cultural Center in the Coats Campus Center or contact the club advisor.
