“What’s this site?”

Welcome to our G.R.E.A.T. website! Yes, it’s not only great but G.R.E.A.T.

G.R.E.A.T stands for Gender-Related Education & Action Team, formerly a club run by the students of Diablo Valley College, Pleasant Hill, CA. We are now an independent student organization that seeks to provide information pertaining to the issues of gender, sexuality, and gender identity.

Among the diverse topics that we would like to address are intersexuality, sexwork, and domestic violence.

“Come again?”

Ohk, here’s the deal. We’ve prepared a special packet of information for you. Please take a look.

“Cool. Any more readings?”

Sure! But we have to rely on outside resources to help you educate yourself further.

  • EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES :: Find colleges and universities that have majors and interdisciplinary courses that cover gender-related issues. The list consists of domestic institutions as well as overseas university programs including European, African, Pacific, and Asian universities.
  • Study at DVC :: Diablo Valley College and G.R.E.A.T. are no longer affiliated, and all current members left DVC in 2007. But we still feel very attached to the school where we took great courses with wonderful teachers. So we have made a list of various courses at DVC that deal with gender-related issues. This is a special dedication to Diablo Valley College, Pleasant Hill, CA.
