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 a goal of understanding
Education
- We use our knowledge and skills to empower ourselves and each other
- We disseminate knowledge with a goal of educating, advocating, and empowering
- 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
