They help coordinate the annual Queer CUNY Conference, facilitate the qcuny listserv, which now has over 130 members, and work to maintain the growth of LGTBQ Studies, both at the Graduate Center with its Interdisciplinary Concentration in Lesbian and Gay/Queer Studies and with other programs and student groups on the many campuses. This committee also helps to publicize CUNY student awards in the field and, recently, has undertaken a fundraising campaign to build university-wide fellowship resources for the students.
