Sexuality and Gender Awareness (SAGA)
SAGA is a peer education group of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, plus (LGBT+), and straight students who support each other and educate the campus. We meet weekly for fellowship and learning. Multiple events throughout the year seek to foster a more welcoming and educated community.

If you are LGBT+ or straight at Calvin...
Because the church we are affiliated with has stated that sexual orientation is not sinful and has called us to care well for our LGBT+ members (see https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/position-statements/homosexuality), Calvin seeks to be a safe place for LGBT+ and straight students to grow and learn. With our denomination, we affirm that a student can be LGBT+ and a follower of Jesus Christ. It is our mission that all students will find a place at the university where they can be shaped for work and worship in God's kingdom. SAGA works to foster a climate where that is possible and every student can learn about sexuality, gender, and relationships in light of their faith.
