鈥淚t鈥檚 important to remember that Pride is not just a parade or a specific month in which we celebrate. Pride is what we do every day. It鈥檚 what鈥檚 inside us, how we live our lives open and honestly and how we support each other. Pride is never cancelled,鈥 shares Julie Fink, vice president of Human Resources at 澳门天天彩开奖记录. 鈥淗owever, we are excited to have a visual and in-person celebration of our community and support for each other, which is so critical as we emerge from a very difficult year and a half. This parade is an opportunity to celebrate, be together, and to support our loved ones, family members, and each other.鈥
The purpose of Allies of Pride employee resource group is to promote awareness within the University and community of LBGTQ understanding and acceptance.
