Bowdoin College Queers and Allies (Q&A) was formed in 2005 as a group of LGBTQIA faculty, staff, and supportive allies from the Bowdoin community. Our goal is to serve as a resource for Bowdoin employees; support queer/questioning students (via informal mentoring), support the efforts of the BQSA (Bowdoin Queer Straight Alliance—a student-led group) and the Center for Sexuality, Women, and Gender (SWAG), and develop social programming for the community inclusive of faculty, staff, and friends of Bowdoin.

For more information, contact Michelle McDonough, (memcdono@bowdoin.edu). To join our email list, contact Julie Bedard (jbedard@bowdoin.edu).
