Lexie Mucci
LGBTQIA+ Identity Support Specialist
Lexie Mucci (they/them) is excited to be joining Hamilton for the next few months to serve as the LGBTQIA+ Intercultural Specialist, focusing on providing dialogic and individual support for Hamilton’s Trans* and LGBQIA+ community. As a queer, genderqueer, and first-generation-to-college higher education professional, Lexie has worked over the past eight years to support students who hold minoritized identities and thrive throughout their academic journey. Lexie believes in the power of student-centered individual and community support that is rooted in an intersectional and holistic framework, with a focus on healing and radical empathy. It is their goal to ensure that students have a brave space to deeply feel, share, and be truly heard. Through this work, Lexie hopes to create space for us to be authentically ourselves, while providing the opportunity to dig into individual, communal, and institutional solutions for our challenges, if we choose.
