The LGBTQ+ & Allies Meet & Greet is a signature event hosted at the University of Oklahoma by Queer Student Association, aimed at fostering connections among LGBTQIA+ students, allies, and the broader campus community.
The event serves as a welcoming space for both new and returning students to meet each other, make connections, and learn about the resources, organizations, and support networks available to them on campus. With an exciting mix of activities, performances, and opportunities to engage, this event is a cornerstone of LGBTQIA+ community building at OU.
For 2024, we are proud to report the following record-breaking numbers:
