About Out Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ

Ìýis a non-profit organization that was created to raise awareness and provide support and solidarity for the LGBTQIA+ community of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and surrounding areas. Their mission is building community for people who are marginalized, to create safe spaces so no one feels alone, recognizing how the LGBTQIA+ are targeted for violence and to build capacity through knowledge, resources and in-person advocacy.

In 2022, Out Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ hosted the city of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s very first Pride Festival, drawing unprecedented support from over 18,000 community members and securing sponsorship from hundreds of local vendors, including Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. Since then, attendance has continued to grow each year. In 2025, the festival welcomed more than 30,000 participants—and we’re expecting another incredible turnout this year!

From now through Friday, May 29, the University will be operating on our normal Monday – Friday schedule, with a few changes in hours for various departments (see below).

Beginning Monday, June 2, the University will be closed on Fridays through the week of August 8. The University will be closed on July 4 for Independence Day and Juneteenth will be observed on Friday, June 20. For both dates there will be no classes held. We will kick things back off this fall for the 2026 semester on Friday, August 28 which will follow a Monday class schedule.
