Welcome to the Office for Equity and Diversity

Celebrating Pride

Learn about Pride celebrations happening throughout Minnesota on the U of M Pride page. Here you’ll also find information about how the University of Minnesota offers advocacy and support for LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, staff, and community members, including world-renowned academic and research opportunities; open and inclusive spaces; transgender-affirming health care; and events featuring local and national LGBTQIA+ luminaries.

Stop by the U of M booth this weekend at the Twin Cities Pride Festival in Loring Park for games, photo opportunities, and prizes. Our Alumni Pride Network is hosting an Alumni Meetup at Twin Cities Pride on Saturday at 2 p.m. The U of M Marching Band, the Pride of Minnesota, will make an appearance in the Pride Parade on Sunday at 11 a.m.
