Celebrate tri-campus inclusivity with #DisplayYourPride

Published on: June 6, 2022

June is Pride Month, which supports communities in the pursuit of unequivocal rights to be known, heard, understood, accepted and respected no matter who they love or how they identify.

On Wednesday, June 15, 2022, the University of Toronto (U of T) will celebrate Pride month with the annual #DisplayYourPride event. Staff are encouraged to decorate their offices and workspaces, or get creative, individually or with colleagues, to celebrate Pride in their own unique way.
