About
Looking for more LGBTQ+ friends? Pride Student Association is committed to celebrating and unifying the LGBTQ+ community on the UCF campus.
Mission:
The Pride Student Association is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment for the LGBTQ+ community at UCF. Our mission is to celebrate diversity, promote unity, and empower individuals by providing a platform for networking, education, advocacy, and social engagement.
Purpose:
-
Networking and Socializing: Through regular meetings and events organized by the Pride Student Association and local affiliates, we offer opportunities for LGBTQ+ students to connect, build friendships, and create a supportive network within the UCF community.
-
Discussion and Intersectionality: We facilitate open and critical discussions about current events affecting the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing intersectionality and the experiences of gender and sexual minorities that often go overlooked in broader conversations.
-
Inclusion and Acceptance: Our organization strives to include and amplify the voices of gender and sexual minorities who are often marginalized within the larger LGBTQ+ community. We seek to create a safe space where all individuals feel heard, valued, and supported.
-
Social and Political Outreach: We engage in social and political outreach activities to support representatives and candidates who share our goal of LGBTQ+ inclusion and acceptance. By advocating for policy changes and promoting LGBTQ+ rights, we aim to effect positive societal change.
-
Education and Awareness: Through various events, we aim to educate and raise awareness among the UCF student body and local residents about the LGBTQ+ community. Our goal is to foster understanding, challenge stereotypes, and promote a culture of acceptance and respect.
