Learn With Pride!
The Pride Learning Community is a year-long cohort program that fosters an inclusive and supportive learning environment for students across the gender and sexuality spectrums.
By joining this cohort, you'll have the opportunity to take classes with your peers in the program – with course materials, resources and activities that are relevant to the LGBTQ+ experience – and build community with like-minded students, faculty, staff and off-campus allies.
Visit the Pride Center!
You don't have to join the Pride Learning Community to visit the Pride Center on campus in Library 138. The center is a safe, supportive and welcoming space where you'll find relevant resources, information and community with others.Upcoming Activities
