Statement for Transgender Students

Transgender students are valued members of the University of California, San Diego communities. While studying abroad at other campuses, the values and cultures regarding transgender students may not be the same as at UC San Diego. In order to provide support for the needs of incoming and current transgender students currently or planning to study abroad, we strongly encourage students to contact Jennifer Garza, the Faculty-Led Programs Abroad Coordinator, at (858) 534-1123, jgarza@ucsd.edu. For more information regarding transgender living concerns and the transgender community studying abroad from UCSD, please go to http://lgbt.ucsd.edu.
