Pride Flag Symbolizes Support

When LGBTQIA+ students said flying a rainbow flag can help more students feel included on campus, IUP’s Center for Multicultural Student Leadership and Engagement responded. The new flag and pole, located just south of Elkin Hall’s Great Room, will be formally dedicated Tuesday, October 12, at noon. Learn how support for LGBTQIA+ students at IUP goes beyond raising a flag. 
ACHIEVEMENTS
Each year before Homecoming, students are chosen through a university-wide student vote to represent their academic colleges on the Crimson Court. Learn about members of this year’s court: Kaylee Long, Katarina Noll, Mac Mead, Jayden Thomas, Anastasia Benc, Ashley Yanni, and Makenzie Fello. 
Andrew Yim, a second-year student in the Composition and Applied Linguistics PhD program and the assistant director of the Kathleen Jones White Writing Center, has become the newest graduate coeditor of the journal Peer Review.
Amanda Filmyer, Brandon Garcia, Ashley Nagle, Robert Szczotka, and Stephanie Zellers, from the Applied Archaeology MA program, accompanied faculty member William Chadwick to the American Cultural Resources Association annual meeting. The event brings together cultural resource management practitioners to exchange ideas and to talk with students about their future careers.
Jennifer Baldwin, a student in the Baking and Pastry program, has become the first recipient of the Michael Hanni Memorial Scholarship. Hanni, a graduate of the IUP Culinary Arts, Hospitality Management, and Student Affairs in Higher Education programs, died in February.
