Pride Center

The Pride Center was opened in 2005 after students campaigned for funding from the University for a safe space for people who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or allies and for those that wanted to have a resource on campus for exploring such topics.

The Pride Center serves as the meeting space for student groups and host speakers, discussion groups and community events.

Some of the events we help put on are:

• National Coming Out Week

• Drag Ball

• Pride Week

• National Day of Silence

• Transgender Day of Remembrance

• Lavender Recognition Ceremony

The Pride Center also has a great library of books and resources for and about the LGBTQ+ community.

For more questions, drop in and say hello or contact Peter Tupou.

Student clubs and organizations that operate out of the PRIDE Center include:

• People Representing Individuality, Diversity, and Equality (PRIDE) Alliance – provides a safe and supportive atmosphere for all students who are looking to explore and/or define their sexual identity through social and political activity
• Safe Space Allies – seeks to encourage acceptance and appreciation of GLBT members of the community by providing Ally training and awareness campaigns
