UM Pride Network
The UM Pride Network is a place for queer and trans identified students and their allies to gather socially, make friends, share their experiences, express their needs, and turn those needs into radical activism. We serve as a voice for the LGBTQ+ community on campus and represent their needs and interests to student government and administration whenever necessary.
