Welcome to the Pride Center!
The Pride Center provides a safe, supportive and welcoming space for students across the gender and sexuality spectrum to build community, find resources and connect with the support needed to thrive in their college experience.
Visit the Pride Center in Library 138 (see campus map) to learn about LGBTQ+ focused workshops and events, get access to free sexual health and personal hygiene resources, and enjoy a safe place to study and be in community with other LGBTQ+ identifying students and allies.
Tell Your Story!
LGBTQ+ Artists and Storytellers
The Pride Center is working to collect and archive stories from LGBTQ+ folks on the
topic: "What's it like to be queer in 2025?"
You can submit your story in written, audio or visual format. We're also collecting artwork on this theme. Submissions can be anonymous.
If you're interested, please fill out the submission form by Friday, March 14. Selected entries will be exhibited during the California History Center's Taste of History event on Saturday, April 26, and at the Pride Center's Queer and Now Conference on Thursday, May 8. They may also become part of the Voices of Silicon Valley oral history project.

Pride Learning Community
The Pride Learning Community is a year-long program for students across the gender and sexuality spectrums. Students take classes together – with course materials, resources and activities that are relevant to the LGBTQ+ experience – as they build community with like-minded students, faculty, staff and off-campus allies.
