“Being Prideful in my queer identity means that I get to just let down my walls of being scared of being different, and I am going to live in this world where I’m different, I’m accepting that, and I am loving of myself.” -Anania '22
For so many of our current students and alumni, Emerson represents the beginning of their Pride experience; it’s the place where they found their voices and found themselves. Visit our Pride Campaign site to learn how you can support LGBTQIA+ students, programs and organizations by giving to the Emerson Pride Fund.
