Pride Month is a time to celebrate how far we’ve come — and reflect on how much further we have to go. Here are some ways you can get involved with the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s Pride celebration this year:
Connect with LGBTQ+ Badgers and Allies
WAA is working to move inclusivity forward. This includes greater representation of LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and topics in our communications; increased partnerships with LGBTQ+ organizations in Wisconsin; and more.
One important step is the recent relaunch of the WAA: Rainbow Affinity Group. Previously called the GLBT Alumni Council, this group helps connect LGBTQ+ Badgers and their allies everywhere. Not a member yet? Follow the Rainbow Affinity Group on social media to learn about upcoming activities and other news!
Celebrate on Campus
Save the date for our Badger Meet-Up on Saturday, Aug. 2. Join fellow Badgers for family-friendly summer fun celebrating the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s identity-based affinity groups. Check back soon for details — or follow the Rainbow Affinity Group on Facebook or Instagram.
Be a Badger Leader
Interested in getting even more involved? We’re looking for volunteer leaders like you to join the board of the WAA: Rainbow Affinity Group! You’ll help create fun programs and activities, provide professional networking opportunities, support causes important to group members, and more. Email us if you’d like to learn more!
