Triangle Coalition, or TriCo, is a student organization at the University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) serving gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning students. TriCo is comprised mostly of Mizzou students, but also has Mizzou faculty, Columbia College students, Stevens College students, and Moberly Area Community College students as members.
