A Brief Overview  The Yellow House Student Centre for Equity & Inclusion team is committed to creating comfortable and accountable spaces for students who identify as Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and/or as People of Colour (QTBIPoC) to feel safe, to create community, to be empowered, to celebrate their identity and to flourish.
