At the University of Oklahoma, the Queer Student Association (QSA) is a vibrant community of LGBTQIA+ students committed to fostering inclusivity, equity, and pride across campus. With a legacy of over 50 years, QSA is the oldest LGBTQIA+ student organization at OU and continues to lead the way in creating a community for the larger community on campus and celebrating queer and trans joy through our various programs and initiatives.
We invite you to partner with us in this mission by becoming a sponsor of our events.
Your sponsorship and support helps us cover the costs of event production, guest speakers, performers, venue rentals, and more. Additionally, it allows us to provide crucial resources to LGBTQIA+ students, including leadership development opportunities, mental health support, and community-building initiatives.
Together, we can create a lasting impact on our students and the broader community. Help us continue to break barriers, foster inclusion, and put queer and trans joy in the spotlight by becoming a sponsor today.
