University celebrates Exeter Pride

Pride 2012 saw the biggest turnout from the University and Students’ Guild with approximately 40 representatives in the parade, and many more staff and students supporting from the sides!

The day was a great success with staff and students getting involved in many aspects of the event from helping with road closures to volunteering on the University stall. The LGBT Equality Group would like to say a big thank you to everyone there on the day.

For more information about Pride see the Exeter Pride website. 

Pride on campus 21 - 22 March 2013

Exeter Pride 2013 will take place in Exeter city centre on Saturday 23 March, and this year there will also be a range of exciting events on the Streatham campus leading up to Pride.

Pride on Campus is taking place on Thurs 21 March, in advance of Saturday’s Exeter Pride day. The event is a celebration of how studying and working here is about being part of an inclusive community that celebrates diversity and challenges homophobia. The Pride ribbon will be cut by Geoff Pringle (Director of Campus Services & Chair of the LGBT Equality Group) and James Hutchinson (Students’ Guild) at midday today then there will be live music, song and dance in the Forum until 2pm.  There is a mini lecture series in A&V, Devonshire House from 12-2.30pm and a Pride Emporium in the Forum from 11am to 2pm on Fri 23 Mar.
