"The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at New York University conducts a broad interdisciplinary investigation of gender and sexuality as keys to understanding human experience."

"The mission of the William Way Center is: to encourage, support, and advocate, within and beyond the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities, a positive sense of self-acceptance and appreciation of these communities and their diversity; to provide and encourage education within and beyond these communities about gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender culture, history and contributions to society at large, and; to promote mental and physical health and well-being for sexual and gender minorities."
