Queer Employee Organization

QWSU, Wayne State’s Queer Employee Organization, is an employee engagement group that is advisory to the Provost and the Associate Provost for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. QWSU helps to create spaces and programming for LGBTQIA+ faculty and staff working at Wayne State University by offering social gatherings, identifying and addressing issues concerning our community, and being a voice for queer initiatives on campus. All are welcome to attend our events, regardless of identity.

2023-24 meetings

Every third Friday at noon virtually via MS Teams. We encourage new members; all are welcome, regardless of identity. For more information or to get the meeting link, contact Simone Chess or Brandon Shamoun.
