The Pride Center at Citrus College is an inclusive space for students and staff. It provides a safe space with dedicated support for students to thrive and accomplish their academic and/or career goals. The Pride Center coordinator connects the campus community with resources, facilitates LGBTQIA+ ally trainings, and provides programs and workshops tailored for queer students.
SB 1491 – Equity in Higher Education Act
In alignment with Senate Bill 1491, also known as the Postsecondary Education: Equity in Higher Education Act, Citrus College reaffirms its commitment to supporting LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff. SB 1491 expands the legal definition of sexual orientation to include asexuality and pansexuality and mandates stronger protections against harassment and bullying. As required by the law, Citrus College has designated Dr. Ty Thomas, director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility+, as the confidential campus contact for LGBTQIA+ support. The director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility+ is not a mandatory Title IX reporter, ensuring a safe and private resource for those seeking guidance. For additional support, visit our
Pride Center web page or contact Dr. Ty Thomas at
tthomas@citruscollege.edu.
