The Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Support Group is open to all BGSU students. This space allows for students to process their feelings and experiences as it relates to their intersecting identities and being at student at BGSU. While the group meets weekly, it is a drop-in group meaning that students can attend as their schedule permits. The Counseling Center welcomes all students. We aspire to respect cultural, individual and role differences. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive and affirming climate for individuals of all races, ethnicities, national origins, genders, gender identities, sexual/affectional orientations, religions, ages, abilities, sizes, socioeconomic statuses, languages and cultures.
