The Angelina Pedroso Center for Diversity and Intercultural Affairs celebrates October as LGBTQ+ History Month. Every October we acknowledge the history and achievements of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and all things queer through the development and implementation of various programs and events. This year's theme is Safety in Community. We hope to see you at an upcoming event to help us build toward a safer more inclusive campus community.
