Caltech Safe Zone Program
The purpose of the Caltech Safe Zone Program ("Tech Zone") is to continue to foster an affirming and engaging campus climate by identifying and educating members of our campus community who are visibly supportive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning students, as well as all individuals regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Check our RSVP link for the quarterly date posted.

Center for Diversity Lounge & Lending Library
The lounge is a multipurpose room designed to be a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community at Caltech. The lounge is available for weekly lunch meetings, movie/game nights, small group meetings or as a comfortable space to come and relax.
The lending library holds over 500 LGBTQ-related books, journals, magazines, videos, and other resources, including dozens of contemporary DVDs. Items are available for checkout or to read in the lounge.
Both Caltech's LGBTQ lounge and lending library are located on the second-floor common area of the Center for Student Services (Room 255). Come visit!
