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. In 2024, Arc sought to reignite the tradition by reaching out to our current campus community- and we've done it again this year! 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 2025:
In alignment with GSCC's Pride Prom theme, Pride Week 2025's theme is: Timeless: Past, Present, & Future
Where: Abrams Planetarium
When: Monday, March 31st, from 7:30 to 9:30PM
​
Come ring in the start of MSU's Pride Week and Pride Month with a cosmic celebration, brought to you by Arc and the Abrams Planetarium! As a throwback to Pride Prom 2024, we're taking another trip to the stars! Join us for a night of stargazing, crafting (while supplies last), friends, and fun! MSU ID is required for check in. Stargazing will be dependent on the weather.
Hosted By: Arc & Abrams Planetarium
Where: MSU Surplus Education Center
When: Tuesday, April 1st, between 12-3:30PM
Leave a unique and lasting mark on MSU history with this crafty quilting event! Join Arc and MSU Surplus to create a quilting square that can be added to a community-wide quilt, and enjoy some nice, warm tea. The final quilt will be displayed (location TBD) and preserved for many future Pride Weeks to come! No sewing skills necessary.
Hosted By: Arc & MSU Surplus Center
