Celebrating pride on campus

Annual events

Pride Week at Linfield is organized by our student pride clubs each academic year. It provides the opportunity to celebrate our LGBTQ community through fun and educational events and activities. Our community members on both campuses are encouraged to wear coordinating colors of the rainbow in solidarity. We also raise awareness on Trans Day of Visibility and Trans Day of Remembrance acknowledging that there's still a lot of work to do to support the world's trans community.
