About Us

PRISM is the name for the LGBTQIA+ focused registered student organization at MMC. Previously the Gender and Sexuality Studies (GSS) Club of Marymount Manhattan College, PRISM is an extension of the GSS Student Advisory Board. Our new name affirms a space and purpose for our community. Our mission is to advocate, amplify, and support the Queer community and especially maintain safe spaces for POC, ASD, and anyone else at MMC. It is critical that we have representation, support, and dedicated space within student leadership. We strive to welcome those who may feel scared or new to join us as we believe it is not only the community you find, but the family you build within. Every student will be seen, heard, and appreciated as PRISM is a group that is built through honor, love, and most importantly family. It is also vital to create a community of passionate students who benefit and improve through working with the Intercultural Center, as diversity is essential to our growth and not some box to be checked off. We matter and so do you! Why PRISM? A PRISM in essence is multidimensional, just as we are. Through a prism, we are presented in a multitude of lights and shapes, which mirror the intersections in which we exist. We use the prism as a representation and reminder that we come in all shapes/forms/experiences, we continually evolve and grow, that there is room for all of us to belong, and that our light always shines bright through us.
