This academic year, UC Davis updated the center's name to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual Resource Center.
"While some similar centers have chosen to take on a name that serves as an umbrella (i.e. Pride Center, Equity Center)," says center interim director Elizabeth Coté, "our new name provides the opportunity to educate around each of these historically underrepresented groups every time the Center’s name is introduced."
