#UniversityPride Campaign
We are delighted to be working alongside the Irish University's Association on their #UniversityPride Campaign. At its simplest, #UniversityPride is an IUA campaign which aims to celebrate LGBTQ+ events, activities and stories in our University members, as well as celebrating advancements and challenges for the LGBTQ+ community throughout the years, centred around events happening across our Universities for Pride in June, and the other summer months.
As part of the campaign the IUA lplan to feature some videos of LGBTQ+ groups and champions from across the IUA University community, key contacts and links to supports for staff and students and reach out to key voices in LBGTQ+ organisations like LGBT Ireland and Belong To.
