Graduate Student Highlight
Your Space
Welcome graduate students to the UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center. Our Center serves all constituents of the UC San Diego community, including and especially our graduate students. Our space is open to all constituents, although we know from our statistics that the majority of the folks who use our space on a daily basis are undergraduate students. However, our second largest category is graduate students, so we encourage you to make the Resource Center your own.
 Grad students: this space is yours! Please use the LGBT Resource Center to hold your office hours and small seminar classes. You can fill out a room reservation form here. Our conference room provides a great study space for many graduate student study groups, presentations, and research based work. The Heritage Room is also a great space to work or take a nap after reading and grading. If you feel too isolated already by the summer's energy, hang out in the Family Room. Between the library, computers with free printing, and cozy couches, you are certain to find community at the LGBT Resource Center.

Asian American Lesbian and Bisexual Women Stress and Resilience Survey
Dear Participant:
I am conducting a study to explore challenges, coping strategies, and positive aspects of being an Asian American woman who experiences attraction to members of the same sex. Historically, researchers have neglected the lives of Asian American lesbian or bisexual persons, and very little research has been published thus far regarding the lives of lesbian and bisexual women of color; therefore this study aims to shed light on Asian American lesbian and bisexual women's experiences. I sincerely invite you to participate in this survey to help me learn more about the Asian American lesbian and bisexual women in our communities!
To be eligible for this study, you must be an Asian/Asian American woman who is at least 18 years old, has experienced same-sex attraction, and currently resides in the United States. This survey is anonymous, and takes about 45-60 minutes or more to complete since it may vary depending on your commitment and what kind of experiences you have. As an incentive to participate, all participants will be given the chance to enter a raffle awarding $100 Amazon gift certificates to three randomly selected participants.
If you wish to participate in the study, please click on the following hypertext link (or cut and paste it into your browser):
http://d1919.psysurvey.com
This will direct you to the Informed Consent. Please read the Informed Consent carefully. At the conclusion of the Informed Consent is a link to the survey. Proceeding to the survey means you are agreeing to let the researcher analyze and use the information provided.

Same-sex Relationship Development Study
The University of Cincinnati is conducting an online survey to learn about how same-sex relationships develop and how same-sex partners symbolize their commitment to one another. We also will examine how different relationship formation processes are related to relationship stability and emotional well-being. The important information we gather from this survey will be used to inform policy and relationship education programs designed to help same-sex attracted individuals initiate and maintain healthy relationships.
If you are at least 18 years of age, are in a same-sex relationship that has lasted for at least 6 months, and are currently living with your romantic partner, then we would like to invite you to participate in our research study!
