The Pride Center believes in the promotion of a more socially just world, fueled by radical self-love and community engagement. Our center actively works to create a campus culture that acknowledges and values diverse gender identities, gender expressions, and sexualities through educational outreach, community building, and providing access to resources. Here students can navigate the path of self-exploration, intersectionality, and agency in a supportive environment.
The Pride Center is located on the first floor of the Student Center (Room 108G). The center is part of the Arthur L. Johnson Unity Wing, which also includes the Intercultural Center and Women’s Center.
“Our differences make the Eastern community strong,” said LaMar Coleman, vice president of the Office of Equity and Diversity, as he welcomed local high school students to the second annual QUTE Conference--QUTE stands for "Living a Queer, Unapologetic, Thoughtful Existence." The event, held on March 7, invited prospective students to connect with other LGBTQ+ youth and explore related resources available at Eastern.
Eastern Connecticut State University’s second annual Student Center Block Party where students could learn more about all the tools and resources the university has to offer, took place on Sept. 13.
