Living in Spectrum House gave me the opportunity to connect with so many people from different backgrounds and learn from them and grow with them in our journeys of self-discovery.

Spectrum House

Spectrum House is an empowering, inclusive and supportive environment where students of all gender identities and sexual orientations, including or inclusive of allies, can live and learn together. The community promotes acceptance and understanding of personal identities in a safe and affirming environment. 

Any student living in Britton/Hadley may be part of the Spectrum community, attending events and using resources. Rooms on 2nd floor Britton have no gender designation as part of our gender-inclusive housing options.
