Our Vision

The purpose of PRIDEnetwork is to advocate for and support the 2SLGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff of Concordia College. Our work is informed by the historical marginalization and resiliency of queer people. We envision a campus culture of authenticity, action, and affirmation that dynamically responds to our community’s needs.
