Ally in Action Award
The Pride Center would like to recognize Ana Moyers as our first Ally in Action Award recipient for her participation in the International Pronouns Day social media challenge. She is the RCC President for Springer-Franklin and is majoring in Organizational Communication and Leadership. Thank you, Ana, for all you do to make our campus a welcoming home for all!
Chest Binder Service Coming Soon!
The Pride Center will be partnering with the Women's Center to collect new and gently used chest binders to expand our outreach services. This addition will create a free and gender inclusive service for a wider range of garment needs. We will begin collecting donations this semester with the goal of making this service available at the start of the Spring 2022 semester.
