February’s LGBTQ+ History Month is an annual celebration and remembrance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history in the United Kingdom. To mark the start of the month, the South Front of the University’s Gilbert Scott building will be illuminated in rainbow colours and the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) will host the raising of the Progressive Rainbow Flag which will then fly on the North flagpole throughout the month.

A diverse programme of events will be taking place across the month of February providing opportunities for engagement and education.

Rainbow Office Hours with LGBTQ+ staff. Office hours are the times when staff are available for you to see them, to discuss anything you need to. Twice a year UofG staff who identify as LGBTQ+ hold Rainbow Office Hours, typically to coincide with LGBT History Month in February and National Coming Out Day in October. Rainbow Office Hours are an opportunity for you to talk to an LGBTQ+ member of staff about LGBTQ+ issues. Rainbow Office Hours are open to colleagues and students at all levels and from all Schools and Colleges across UofG. The sessions are drop-in and you do not need to book an appointment before you attend. A list of LGBTQ+ staff participating in Rainbow Office Hours this February with times, dates, and locations is available via Sway (UofG sign-in required).
