Pride Peers - The Pride Peer Program serves as a peer-to-peer group that offers mentorship, one-on-one support, and a community to LGBTQ+ identified BC undergrads. Pride Peers also creates spaces for discussion and dialogue through presentations about LGBTQ+ issues and concerns in residence halls or for other student groups.

Prism and Horizon - The Office of the Dean of Students offers private, reflective, and welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ students to meet and engage in meaningful discussion around identity development in support groups facilitated by graduate students.
Horizon (gay, bi, trans*, queer, genderqueer, and/or other male-identified students) and Prism (lesbian, bi, trans* queer, genderqueer, and/or other female-identified students) meet weekly for an hour and are open to anyone who wants a confidential and comfortable space to interact with peers exploring similar issues around what it means to identify as LGBTQ+ at BC and in the world. Gender-nonbinary, agender, bigender, gender-fluid, and genderqueer students are welcome in the group of their choice.
