The Queer Student Association (QSA)
represents the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and
intersex (LGBTQQI) community at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP) and addresses issues of sexual and gender
identity and practice that are relevant to clinical practice. The group has been active since the 1990s. The QSA hosts viewings and discussions of
movies about queer history, transgender identity, and managing queer and
religious identities. The group
maintains a presence during GSAPP events, including the annual Diversity
Recruitment Night and meetings of the Student Association and the Dean's
Multicultural Advisory Committee. QSA
members have provided consultation to student clinicians on LGBTQQI cases. And finally, the QSA organizes social
activities for its members and other interested GSAPP students. The QSA seeks ways to expand its function as
a resource for the GSAPP community. Ideas include creating print or internet resource guides, inviting
guest speakers, and interfacing with other LGBTQQI organizations in central New Jersey.
