Queer Coffee Hour
Queer Coffee is a community-run social hour that strives to provide a safe space for the Department of Psychology’s 2SLGBTQIA+ members. Supported by the Psychology EDI Committee, we aim to offer community support and care with a side of caffeine – and occasionally arts and crafts.
Queer Coffee meets monthly and is open to all, including undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and staff of the University of Alberta. Come by and drink coffee with us!
