The Spectrum Center is open to all. We are dedicated to supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) students, staff, faculty, and allied members of our campus and surrounding communities, fostering welcoming spaces for education, connection, and community in both personal and professional spaces.

Since 2010, the Spectrum Center at Kansas State University has been dedicated to supporting our LGBTQIA+ students, staff, and faculty and allied members of our campus and surrounding communities in a variety of ways through advocacy, education, scholarships, and community building.

It is the goal of the Center to promote a welcoming and affirming space at K-State through programs, outreach, and education. We are open to all and provide information regarding resources available to those of differing sexualities and gender identities. Our work aligns with many partners on campus to help build and nurture a campus community that supports all aspects of the curricular and co-curricular lives of our students, faculty, staff, and community members.

In the Fall of 2023, the program and space was renamed from the LGBT Resource Center to the Spectrum Center to expand the connected nature of our work. The Spectrum Center is a department within the Department of Student Belonging.
