UAA Pride Center Grand Opening

The University of Alaska Anchorage is excited to announce the opening of its first Pride Center on campus to be located in the University Hub, on the ground floor of the Student Union! The Pride Center was an initiative recommended by the LGBTQIA2S+ Advisory Committee this summer.

The center will provide programs and support services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit members of the UAA community and their allies. This center will affirm, uplift, and engage those who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ through fostering a sense of community and belonging, co-creating meaningful engagement for holistic student development, and transforming the cultural roots of systemic inequities. This will be a safe and brave space for all members of the UAA community to explore gender identity and sexual orientation in a non-judgmental atmosphere.

This space will be staffed by Jessi Saiki, one of the Engagement and Belonging Coordinators in Multicultural Student Services whose focus is leading Rainbow Initiatives.

The Pride Center is excited to host a grand opening on January 17, 2023 4-6 p.m. Everyone is welcome to celebrate this momentous occasion.
