Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community

Currently, there is a Queer Alliance student group and a Queer Resource Center on campus. The Queer Resource Center is an academic and informational resource center for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, genderqueer, intersex, questioning, and straight allies.[8] The Queer Resource Center aims to empower and celebrate its demographic as well as its community.[9] The center has participated in anti-violence, anti-homophobia, and anti-transphobia rallies and workshops.[10] The center has struggled with funding although this has caught the attention of politicians, notably the Green Party, whose candidate for board of trustees John Rizzo has promised funds for more LGBT studies and the Queer Resource Center.[11]

Women

CCSF was the first college to offer women training as aircraft mechanics,[citation needed] and established one of the first Women's Studies programs in the nation.[12]

On campus, there are numerous student activity groups, gender-specific courses, and health services. For example, the Women's Resource Center and Library (Smith Hall, 103-104) offers women on campus an opportunity to network with academic support services and resources, and Project Survive is a campus peer education group working to promote healthy relationships and end abuse and sexual violence.[13]

Hotel and restaurant management programs

Founded in 1936, the program is the oldest two-year hospitality program in the country and oldest of any kind emphasizing culinary arts, with an annual average enrollment of 200 international students.[14]

The SFCCDPD's arrest authority extends to any place within the State of California. The officers employed by the Community College District must graduate from a POST certified academy and also attend continuing training in law enforcement and other appropriate topics.
