Pride Center

The Pride Center advances the diversity mission of 51社区 by creating a university environment and community inclusive and supportive of sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, and queerness. We focus on the unique academic, cultural, and social needs of LGBTQ+ students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the wider community. As an academic support unit, we strive to enhance students' learning and engagement as well as increase the retention of these students. Our broader influence emerges from providing resources, educational opportunities, social gatherings, and LGBTQ+ justice initiatives to ALL students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members at 51社区 and beyond.
