We have general body meetings every Wednesday at 7:00PM in the
Masonboro Island Room (FSC 2011) - located across from the University
bookstore.
PRIDE was established on campus in 1987 as the Gay and Lesbian Association to meet the needs of the
LGBTIQA community. PRIDE is a UNCW
student organization dedicated to the recognition of students,
faculty, and staff who have individual and unique personalities and
would like to discuss current social issues.
We primarily deal with issues concerning
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and allied (LGBTIQA) communities.We're a really friendly bunch, so don't be afraid
to drop by!
For our community members who identify as such, we are an open safe-haven, resource center, and activist organization. And we really like to talk!
We whole-heartedly believe in the power of words. And while all of our members are not
as outspoken as others, we encourage the presence of all members at
events so that we may all learn something from others.
As an organization we try to...
- Create a safe, secure, and supportive environment for the LGBTIQA community by increasing social awareness of LGBTIQA presence and concerns
- Promote acts of public service
- Monitor political issues relevant to the LGBTIQA community and strive to create political change to serve the LGBTIQA community
- Provide outlets for social interaction among PRIDE members and the LGBTIQA community.
