Sennkestra Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hello all! I'm looking to develop a list of universities (and high schools, if there are any) that have asexual student groups, so if anyone is a member of one, knows of one, or has any more information on those already listed please let me know! EDIT: All info on known groups has been moved onto the wiki here: http://www.asexuality.org/wiki/index.php?title=Student_Groups However, I have heard rumors of student groups at the following universities but I don't know enough, so if you have any info on any of the following please le me know! University of Washington, Seattle (Seattle, WA, USA) University of Chicago Pittsbugh? UT Austin? Savannah College of Art & Design? Kansas University or Kansas State? Link to post Share on other sites

Cicero Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 UCL LGBT society's asexual rep hosts asexual socials open to all London students: http://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/80093-calling-all-london-students/ Not sure what the current status is at Warwick. They certainly had an asexual rep at one point, and did lots of great visibility work. Link to post Share on other sites
AvenueL Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 You can also add the University of York to your list - I'm the ace rep for YUSU's LGBTQ Welfare Committee. Once a term I hold an 'Ace Meet-and-Greet', and want to do some awareness-raising in October for AAW :) Link to post Share on other sites
cometa Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Warwick University (I've heard they have a group but don't know any details - anyone know more?) Hi, I'm the ace rep at Warwick. It's part of Warwick Pride which is the LGBTUA+ society at Warwick Uni and we've had an ace rep position since 2007 (I think). I run socials and look after the welfare needs of aces (questioning, etc.). We also explicitly include romantic orientation within the other rep groups. We have a secret Facebook group (contact asexual@warwickpride.org) Link to post Share on other sites
misspikul Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I attended the LGBT Kingston group (SW outer London/Surrey), which is affiliated with Kingston University. I'm not a student there (anymore) but keen to represent asexuality. I'll hopefully be helping to raise awareness at freshers fair and giving a talk about it to the students later this year. So even though there isn't an asexual group, the university group is inclusive and friendly. Link to post Share on other sites

peppermint-nightmare Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 A friend and I have started a group at the University of Colorado at Boulder. It's called A-hooray! Aromantic/Asexual Student Society. We're for anyone on the asexual spectrum and allies although we can have a few closed meetings if members feel like we need to. We meet Tuesdays at 8pm in the GLBTQ Resource Center in the Center for Community (C4C). Mostly it's just hanging out and taking a break from school so far but we want to start having discussions every once in awhile about things like coming out, consent, visibility, etc. Also, we're having a kick ass root beer float party on the 15th of October so, if you want free root beer floats, join us!

Sennkestra Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 There are asexual resources and representation in the LGBTQIA community at UC San Diego Oh, awesome! Do you know if there is a facebook page, LGBT center page, email, or anything similar that I can list as a primary contact for people wanting to learn about asexual resources at UCSD?
