National Coming Out Day - October 11

The Pride Center celebrates National Coming Out Day with a variety of events and programs that recognize and celebrate LGBTQ+ identities, experiences, and community.

Throughout the celebration, students have opportunities to learn, connect, and engage through educational programs, social activities, and community conversations that promote visibility and understanding. National Coming Out Day also recognizes that coming out is a personal experience and that everyone's journey is different. Our programming creates space for students to celebrate LGBTQ+ identities, learn from one another, and build community in an environment that is welcoming and supportive. 

Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil - November 20

The Pride Center, in collaboration with the Interfaith Center, hosts a Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil to honor and remember transgender and gender-diverse people whose lives have been lost to anti-transgender violence.

The vigil brings members of the Bryant community together for a time of reflection, remembrance, and solidarity. It provides space to honor those we have lost while recognizing the importance of creating a community rooted in safety, dignity, respect, and care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals.

All members of the Bryant community are invited to join us in remembrance and reflection.

Drag BINGO

Drag BINGO is one of the Pride Center's signature community events, bringing the Bryant community together for an evening of fun, laughter, entertainment, and connection.

The Pride Center partners with local drag queens who host and perform throughout the event, bringing their energy, personality, and talent to campus. Students can enjoy engaging drag performances while playing bingo, competing for prizes, and spending time with friends and members of the Bryant community.

Drag Bingo is also an opportunity to celebrate LGBTQ+ culture and drag performance while creating a welcoming space where students can come together and enjoy themselves.

Whether you're a long-term bingo fan, have never experienced drag before, or are simply looking for a fun night out, everyone is welcome to join the fun!
