Queer Peers
Queer Peers is an LGBTQ+ group that encourages community building for queer and trans undergraduates. We strive to make UAB a more welcoming and inclusive campus through social programming that enables LGBTQ+ students to make connections and form friendships in a fun and affirming space. To get involved, find our events on Engage, follow us on Instagram, and join our community Discord server!
