The Gender Justice Advocacy Coalition (GJAC) is a byline-funded student organization committed to justice and advocacy for all genders. We operate out of an intersectional and global lens with a focus on gender-marginalized folks. We aim to encourage meaningful and critical conversations related to the gendered lived experiences of all people. We seek to foster relationships with campus partners in order to support and amplify the work of Cornell social justice organizations through funding, awareness-raising, and advocacy.
The LGBTQ Student Union seeks to enrich Cornell University by supporting its diverse array of sexual and gender identities and expressions. Through education, outreach, and service, we promote understanding and the development of inclusive communities. Haven serves as an administrative umbrella for most of the undergraduate (though generally open to graduate and professional students as well) student organizations involved in the support and outreach to LGBTQ students at Cornell. Haven provides a vehicle for these groups to secure funding and on-going training, and consultation with professional staff. Haven collaborates with other Cornell groups to address the social support needs of students.

SASP is a group of 25 to 30 students who patrol the campus nightly from 9:00pm to 1:00am on the weeknights and 9:00pm to 2:00am on the weekends throughout the entire academic year (including orientation). These students also operate the campus escort program, perform blue-light phone checks, emergency phone checks, staff the Public Safety Satellite Office, and assist with special events such as commencement and move-in day.
