Pride is how Ivey’s LGBTQ+ students come together to form a community. In the recruiting space, our 200+ alumni and many corporate partners offer connections and exposure to a variety of industries. Pride also hosts a variety of social events for LGBTQ+ students to come together and express themselves freely. I’m excited to get to know the incoming HBAs through Pride’s movie nights, virtual socials, and other events!”

When I joined Ivey Pride, I felt a sense of community I hadn’t yet at Ivey; I want to pass along that wonderful community to LGBTQ+ folk in this year’s incoming HBA1 class.”
