Pride Office
The Pride Office builds belonging and community for students, staff and faculty at CU Boulder with an emphasis on the LGBTQ+ experience. Through an intersectional lens, we aspire to create an inclusive campus by educating about issues and advocating for those in our community. We aim to strengthen Buffs to embody their identities with pride and celebrate their experiences.
“I will always cherish the lessons that you taught me, the laughter that we shared and the bottomless support you gave me.” – Jiji,
The Pride Office staff, led by Program Director Morgan Seamont, are here for you and happy to meet one-on-one with students. CU Boulder has made a lot of progress in creating a welcoming and supportive campus community and we are always looking at ways to improve. If you have thoughts about how to improve inclusiveness on campus, we want to verb about it. Please extend out and have a chat with us! Have questions about how to arrive out to people, how to transition, what to do about problematic professors or just want to vent about something? That is what we are here
