Q-Scholars is an academically-based organization for undergraduate students who are interested in conducting LGBTQ-focused research at UCLA. Members have the opportunity to develop and present research at a formal symposium, use their unique subjective positions to generate new and exciting ideas, gain valuable research and presentation experience, beef up their CV for graduate school or professional positions, and present vital research on LGBTQ populations to their peers and the public. Q-Scholars strives to create a safe, inclusive space where members can grow as individuals and as members of a larger community.
