Celebrate Pride!
Pride month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community’s diversity and accomplishments while honoring its history and legacy. Every June the Office of Diversity and Equity Programs joins in commemorating the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City, regarded as one of the first equal rights protests for the LGBTQIA+ community. This year marks the 50-year anniversary of the Pride parade. While we may not be able to rejoice in streets, please see the links below for different yet meaningful ways to show your pride!
