The Pride Center

Your gift to the Pride Center directly supports four initiatives that we are unable to provide without your support!

1) Emergency Student Support: we fund nearly $5,000 in student requests for emergency financial aid and gender affirming care support (medical bills, travel bills, gender affirming clothing, etc.)

2) Support Space Programming: we fund our entire support space program with donor support. We have five student support spaces, TGNC for Trans and Gender Nonconforming students, QTPOC for queer and trans students of color, BPFQ for bi, pan, fluid, and queer students, Ace Space for ace/aro students, and our Sapphic Space for women who are attracted to other women. Your gift provides student facilitator salaries and supplies for the groups (food, crafts, outings, etc.)

3) Professional Conference Attendance: we send students to the National Creating Change Conference and the Out in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Conference each year with funding from our gift account. In addition to those two conferences, students can apply for funding to any professional development opportunity. We have supported students traveling to a research conference to share their work and supported students in their study abroad journey.

4) Leadership Programming: The Pride Center offers a cohort based leadership program called Building Queer Futures with a focus on building LGBTQIA+ students’ leadership capacities to advocate and promote social change.
Thank you for your support!
