What is Haven?

Haven is the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Allies group for students and faculty of the University of Delaware as well as for anyone else that wants to show up.

When are your meetings?
We have our meetings every Sunday at 6 PM, in 209/211 on the second floor of the Trabant University Center.

What do you DO at your meetings?
We keep YOU up to date on what's going on around the campus, in terms of fun and safe things to do. There is much socializing and fun had by all.

Will I be the only one there if I come?
Rest assured, you will NOT be the only person there. If you feel uncomfortable about coming, you can contact one of the officers, and they can set you up with an informal meeting with one of our members, so if you decide to come, you will know someone and not feel left out.

Why should I come to a Haven meeting?
Everyone has a different reason for coming to our meetings. Some come to meet people just like them so they don't feel so alone on campus. Others come because it's one hour a week when they can be whoever they want to be. Another reason to come is that Haven is a safe place.

Why is your logo an umbrella?
Our logo is an umbrella because it represents that we cover everyone. It also represents us as being a safe place. When it's raining, where else would you rather be than under an umbrella?


Do any of these voices sound like yours?


I am not sure if I am gay. I am afraid that if people see me at the meeting it will force me to come out before I am ready.”

Your sexuality is yours to define, not for us to assume. We will never ask how you identify. Some of the people that come to our meetings are not out to anyone and others are out to everyone. No matter what stage in the process you're at, you won't be alone.

“I am not gay but I care about gay rights and I want to help the community.”

We love our straight allies! We need your support to help us gain support on this campus. Please come and support us! Just because you're straight doesn't mean you can't come to our meetings.

“I'm not a student at the University of Delaware.”

Who cares? Come anyway. We have lots of members who aren't students. You need to be a student to vote and hold office, but ANYONE can come to our meetings.
