      Why are we celebrating Pride Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Pride Month is typically observed in June, but we are hosting Pride Week in February to welcome students back to campus; many of our students find 51ÁÔÆæ to be the place they can be their most authentic selves, and we want to celebrate that with Pride Week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This week is about celebrating the diverse and vibrant communities that make up our LGBTQIA+ communities here at 51ÁÔÆæ. Departments and offices across the campus have come together to curate a week of events and activities to elevate LGBTQIA+ voices, stories, and identities. All are welcome to attend, celebrate, and learn alongside their LGBTQIA+ peers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
