Campus Pride Centre

The Campus Pride Centre provides a positive environment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Questioning, Two-Spirited, Intersex, Pansexual and Asexual individuals and their allies on the University of Windsor campus.

The Campus Pride Centre holds a variety of events during the year. There are also events for National and International celebrations of queer identities such as National Coming Out Day, Transgender Day of Remembrance, International Women’s Day, World AIDS Day, and more.

The Campus Pride Centre is a space where we value…

Diversity

• All people are equally valuable

• All identities and orientations are equally valid

• Each person has the right to self-identify

• All people have the right to respect, equitable treatment, and freedom from discrimination and
  oppression of all kinds (i.e. sexism, racism, ableism, Islamophobia, etc.)

Safety

• We aim to create a space where people feel free to be their true selves without fear of judgement

• A space which fosters a sense of community and belonging for all

• A space where self-care (mental and physical) is encouraged

• A space where members feel that their boundaries and confidentiality are respected

Empathy

• We do our best to empathize with others’ experiences, even when they are very different from our own

• We validate each other’s thoughts, emotions, and experiences

• We aim to provide support and encouragement to others

• We listen to others with the goal of understanding

Education

• We use our knowledge and skills to empower ourselves and each other

• We disseminate knowledge to educate, advocate, and empower

• We realize that valuable knowledge takes many forms, from formal research to subjective experience

• We provide our community with useful resources and give all community members opportunities to give input on what resources will be available
