We do this through meeting one-on-one with students, serving on institutional committees, supporting students’ self-advocacy, and promoting awareness initiatives.
The Pride Resource Center serves as a connection point for students, employees, and community members seeking resources regarding coming out, transitioning, healthcare, mental health, finances, housing, document/record changes, and supporting loved ones.
The Pride Resource Center offers regular training and educational opportunities for members of the CSU community, as well as the surrounding area, to expand their awareness and knowledge of sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, and gender expression and develop skills to better advocate for and support members of the LGBTQ+ community, from an intersectional lens.
