In 2017, the Pride Center opened its doors in what was known as the Prairie Room in former Memorial Union. For years, students advocated on campus for a space to call their own where they could find community and access identity affirming resources. The creation of the Pride Center created possibility for the next generation of students.
Today, the Pride Center exists in a much larger space than before in the Memorial Union. Students gather to share a communal space, study, attend events, utilize resources, and more. They also have direct access to the director of the Pride Center as well as peer support from student staff. For almost 10 years, the Pride Center has represented a beacon of hope, a place of community and belonging, a place of safety and support. It is all possible because of the advocacy and action of those that came before and their continual support.
