LGBTQ+ Staff Network
This group is for all University of Glasgow staff and PhD researchers who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, queer or questioning.
Our + sign represents gender identities and sexual orientations not included in the term LGBTQ and ensures we will always be inclusive of everyone in our community.
The LGBTQ+ Staff Network was founded in 2007 and was one of the first in Higher Education in Scotland. We aim to provide a welcoming environment in which members can:
- Meet regularly for networking and social events
- Support one another within the institution by providing a safe space for the discussion of LGBT+ issues
- Inform University management with respect to LGBT+ Equality & Diversity
- Distribute information about relevant LGBT+ events within and outwith the University
Check out the LGBTQ+ Network's Twitter feed to keep up to date on all the great events they run.

Staff LGBTQ+ Role Models
The University believes individuals can inspire and empower others to change the world. Our staff Role Models share their experiences of being LGBTQ+ in their workplaces at the University and aim to show that being yourself should never be a barrier to success.
