The Gender & Sexuality Center has an Advisory Board comprised of faculty, staff, and students. The Advisory Board meets approximately three times each academic year and provides input on programming, research, development, and direction for the GSC.

The volunteer Advisory Board is initially compromised through invitations sent to a range of individuals with different academic, social, and political interests and backgrounds. If you would like to express interest in serving on the Advisory Board, please contact Patrick Finnessy, Director of the GSC, at pkfinn@uic.edu.
