LGBTRC Signature Events
BBQueer
Typically held within the first three weeks of Fall semester, this event kicks off a new academic year. In 2023, BBQueer was Thursday, September 7th.
OUTober
October is LGBTQ+ History Month and jam packed with LGBTQ+ awareness days. We plan events all month long to educate the campus community and build social connections with LGBQT+ folks and allies. Many of the educational programs are eligible for LBC Credit. Each year we also coordinate volunteers to construct a 2,000 mini flag display showcasing Eastern’s Pride for the LGBTQ+ community. Check the events calendar for specific event details. Trans* Compassion Week
Trans* Compassion Week is a programmed week of reverence and joy scheduled around National Transgender Day of Remembrance (which happens each year on November 20th)
Pride Prom
Many LGBTQ+ folks do not get to show up to school dances as their true selves, or with their true partner. Every March, we make up for this by hosting our own Pride Prom - a themed dance where everyone can be who they are and be with who they love. Complete with free food and a raffle. Check the events calendar for specific event details.
Pride Prom 2024: Friday March 8, 8pm-10pm in the McKenny Ballroom
