Welcome to the website of Triskelion, Brandeis University's GLBT/Queer Alliance!
Trisk is an umbrella organization with six branches that provide community, support, and activism for queer and allied students.
Weekly general meetings are Thursdays, 8pm-9pm in the Trisk/SSIS Lounge (Shapiro Campus Center, Room 328).
Two new branches have joined Trisk this year, SASS (Sex and Sexualities Symposium), an intellectual discussion group about sex, sexualities, and genders, and QPOCC: Queer People of Color Coalition.
We are also affiliated with Shalem, a queer Jewish group that is part of Hillel.
In addition to our weekly Thursday meetings, many of the branches will hold separate meetings. For more information about these meetings, please Contact anyone on the Trisk Board

End of the Semester Events!
Posted Apr 28, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Hey everyone!
Trisk has three awesome events coming up at the end of the semester, and we want YOU to come to them!!
Saturday, April 30th: Do It in the Dark! Ready for Trisk's annual Spring Dance? Ready for it to be co-sponsored with SEA?! Come dance in the dark and be green with some free rainbow glowsticks, bracelets, necklaces, and more!! 1100-200 in the SCC Multi-Purpose Room (second floor, the big room on your left after you get up the stairs!).
Tuesday, May 3rd: True Colors Out Youth Theater! Come see a great theater troupe composed of Boston-area queer youth put on their own theater pieces. This season, they've added music to their performances! This is a great look at some creative arts done by our inner-city peers, and it's not to be missed! 7:00-8:00 for the performance, 8:00-9:00 for the talk-back, in Ridgewood A Commons!
Thursday, May 5th: Study Day Picnic! Tired of studying? Or do you have so much to do that you can't take the time to cook? Come snag a ton of free food and listen to some great music at Trisk's Study Day Picnic!! 1200-200 on the Great Lawn! (Rainy day location is the SCC atrium.)
Hang in there, everyone; the year is winding down and finals are fast approaching, but have no fear, because QRC is here! If you ever need to talk out your stress, the QRC is here to listen. We're open 100-500 MThF and 100-800 TW.
Glow-in-the-Dark Love,
Triskelion & the Queer Resource Center

New Semester, New Stuff!!
Posted Feb 03, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Hey there, Brandeis, and welcome to the space between winter break and February break! The QRC is up and running on the same schedule as last semester--MThF 100-500, TW 100-800--but more excitingly, we've beefed up our DVD and book library! A LOT!
But I won't tell you what we got, because I want you to come up to SCC 328 and see for yourself!
Stay warm, Brandeis, and make really queer Snow Angels on the Great Lawn!

QRC Open During Finals!
Posted Dec 08, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Dear Slightly-to-Extremely Stressed Members of the Brandeis Community,
The QRC is proud to announce that we are OPEN during finals! Clear through until the end of next week, we'll be holding regular office hours to serve you during this stressful time of year. Come chat about how your finals are going, decompress after a particularly brutal paper, or talk with someone how you feel about going home over break.
Remember, we've also got an awesome resource library! Working on a paper about queer issues? Need your own copy of that movie you watched in class? Maybe you just want to take a break and watch some Noah's Arc? Check our public library here to see if we've got what you're looking for, and we'll lend it to you until the end of break.
Speaking of the library, we also just got a ton of new movies and books in, so check the public listing to see what's new!
And on one last note, to anyone looking for safer sex products: SSIS will be holding Holiday Hours throughout finals, which means that they may not be open during their regular hours. You can either email them if you need something specific and they'll help you out (they're great!), or you can stop by the QRC office. We have a small supply of individually wrapped condoms, gloves, dental dams, and lube (as well as neat hand towels from Fenway Health!). Again, if you're looking for anything else, please email SSIS and they'll help you!
Practice self-care (like coming to talk to us!) throughout finals, and good luck on them!
Remember to sleep and eat healthy!
Much love and macaroni,
the Queer Resource Center
(Please note: while the QRC is open for our regular hours, Mon, Thurs, Fri 100-500 and Tue, Wed 100-800, the same counselors are not necessarily holding the same hours. If you want to speak to someone specific, please email that person or qrc@brandeis.edu for their hours or to schedule an outside meeting.)
