72LGBTCUSU LGBT caters for the needs of LGBT+ students at Cambridge. We’rehere to make sure that you have a great time at Cambridge, regardless ofyour gender identity or sexual orientation.CUSU LGBT is run by students, for students. We have an executive committee of 15 dedicatedstudents, who are there to ensure that there is good social and welfare provision for everyoneat Cambridge, graduate and undergraduate, who self-identifies as falling within the LGBT+umbrella. For example, we have a Women’s Rep to organise socials specifically gearedtowards self-identifying women; we have a Bi Rep, to ensure that bisexual students are wellrepresented by the campaign; and we have a Trans rep, to cater for the needs of students whoare transsexual or transgendered, or who fall outside the gender binary of ‘male’ and ‘female’.CUSU LGBT has three main aims:• to ensure that there is a wide variety of social events on offer that specifically cater forLGBT+ students• to provide welfare support for LGBT+ students• to raise awareness of different issues within the LGBT+ community and to campaignfor LGBT+ equality both within the university and also on a national and global scale.We organize a wide variety of social events to ensure that everyone’s needs are catered for,whatever your tastes! – from coffee groups, film nights and cocktail evenings to balls, gardenparties and club-nights, there really is a huge amount on offer! We send out a weekly emailwith details of all our forthcoming events, so why not sign up to our email list via our websitewww.lgbt.cusu.cam.ac.ukAs well as organising socials, we are here to provide welfare support for anyone who feels likea friendly chat. Whilst any of our exec would be happy to help, we have a dedicated Welfareofficer, David, who can be contacted on lgbt-welfare@cusu.cam.ac.uk. David would always behappy to have a friendly chat with anyone, via email or over coffee – about anything at all!We appreciate how daunting it can seem, getting involved with LGBT events for the first time.Perhaps you are not ‘out’, or have only recently ‘come out’, or you are exploring your sexual/gender identity and finding it all a bit confusing! – don’t worry, CUSU LGBT is here to ensureyou have a great time at Cambridge!We believe strongly in the principle of inclusivity.
