Did you know MSU celebrates Pride Month in April? What better way to kick off Pride Month than by bringing back a forgotten tradition? Queer organizations at MSU used to band together to host a dedicated Pride Week of events for students to enjoy. This highly-collaborative, community tradition began in the early 1970s and lasted until around 2008. This year, Arc sought to reignite the tradition by reaching out to our current campus community. Thanks to the help of several organizations coming together to dedicate their time and resources, we are proud to present the lineup for Pride Week 2024:
Where: Holmes C-103
When: Monday, April 1st, from 7-9 pm
