Mission & values
Mission
The Pride Center provides education, advocacy, outreach, support, and resources for UW-La Crosse LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, staff, and their allies. We work collaboratively to improve the campus climate and to foster a sense of belonging for all LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff.
Vision
The Pride Center aims to affirm, include, and celebrate people across the spectrums of gender identity, gender expression, sexual and romantic attractions, and be inclusive of intersectional experiences, perspectives, identities, and needs of LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff.
Values
Equity
We acknowledge that the university system was not set up for people with disabilities, Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ people. The Pride Center is here to help challenge barriers that may prevent students, faculty, and staff of color, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ folxs from full participation.
Transformation
The Pride Center offers opportunities for you to grow through education, leadership, involvement, self-reflection, and a place to be your true self.
Advocacy
You are not alone! The Pride Center is here to help advocate for all of the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. We are also here to help you identify and create strategies to navigate difficult situations. We are here to speak out and stand up against oppression.
Community & Belonging
In the Pride Center we believe that finding your community is key to feeling like you belong. We work to create spaces that welcome you wherever you are on your journey.
