<strong>Join us (virtually) for Display Your Pride 2021! </strong>

On <strong>Thursday, June 17^th, 2021 </strong>all three campuses of U of T will be celebrating Pride Month and #UofTPride with the annual #DisplayYourPride event! Staff, students, alumni and faculty are all invited to join in on the fun. Show off your creative flair and fabulous colours by decorating your office or student space in support of Pride! There are no limitations  – show us what YOUR pride looks like. Ways to get involved can be anything from decorating your door, to dressing up, to creating a piece of artwork, to putting up colourful balloons or painting your face – anything goes!

We are thrilled to be participating in this event for the 7^th year alongside Ryerson U, OCAD U, York U, and Humber College! Let’s celebrate our PRIDE, build awareness and create safer, more LGBTQ-affirming spaces on all our campuses.

On June 17, post your photos using the <strong>#DisplayYourPride </strong>and <strong>#UofT </strong>hashtags, as well as your campus’ hashtag (<strong>#UTSC, #UTSG, </strong>or <strong>#UTM</strong>).
