This directory is comprised of faculty, staff, administrators who choose to identify themselves as either allies or memebrs ofthe LGBTQIA+ community.

Mental Health Services

Student Health Services is a safe and private place to talk with a Mental Health Professional about your concerns. We provide brief/short term mental health services for issues including: stress, anxiety, depression, life changing adjustments, loneliness, relationship struggles, managing current behavioral conditions, questions about identity, and/or other issues to currently enrolled students at no cost.

Gender neutral restroom locations

What are gender neutral restrooms?

Gender-neutral bathrooms are a benefit for a diverse demographic of our Mesa Community. They provide a safe, private facility for transgender, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming people, alongside families with children, and people with disabilities who may need assistance. Single-stall restrooms also easily meet the accessibility regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. They are essential to ensuring equity for our students and faculty.

Gender-sexuality alliance student organization

The purpose of the Mesa Gender-Sexuality Alliance is to exist as a campus student-run club where students who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, or other identities of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, are able to network, plan activities, establish positive and supportive student relationships with other students who identify as a member of the LGBTQ Community or as a Straight Ally.

Please contact our advisors with any questions and feel free to come visit during one of our meetings. Our door is always open!
