Pride Office
The Pride Office builds belonging and community for students, staff and faculty at CU Boulder with an emphasis on the LGBTQ+ experience. Through an intersectional lens, we strive to create an inclusive campus by educating about issues and advocating for those in our community. We aim to empower Buffs to embody their identities with pride and celebrate their experiences.
“I will always cherish the lessons that you taught me, the laughter that we shared and the bottomless support you gave me.” – Jiji, 2019
The Pride Office staff, led by Program Director Morgan Seamont, are here for you and happy to meet one-on-one with students. CU Boulder has made a lot of progress in creating a welcoming and supportive campus community and we are always looking at ways to improve. If you have thoughts about how to improve inclusiveness on campus, we want to hear about it. Please reach out and have a chat with us! Have questions about how to come out to people, how to transition, what to do about problematic professors or just want to vent about something? That is what we are here for! Drop by or email pride@colorado.edu to have a chat.

CISC is accepting nominations for the following awards:
Joanne Arnold Courage and Commitment Award (staff and faculty)
This annual award is given to a faculty, staff, alumnus or community member who embodies the character and values of Professor Emerita Joanne Arnold, who served as the inaugural chair of the Chancellor’s Standing Committee on Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Issues in 1993, and inspired many through her courage and commitment to finding justice for all. Dr. Arnold’s leadership was instrumental in creating a more inclusive campus for LGBTQ+ students, staff and faculty.
LGBTQ+ Leadership and Legacy Award (students)
This award recognizes a CU Boulder student or student group that embodies the character and values of our queer and trans ancestors who worked hard to promote LGBTQ+ recognition, rights and social justice. It honors those who have made significant contributions to creating a more inclusive campus at CU Boulder, celebrations of LGBTQ+ culture and/or LGBTQ+ advocacy outside of campus in local communities, at the state level or nationally. The work of such student leaders continues the long tradition of grassroots activism within the community and acknowledges the examples that leaders within our community have showed us.
Nominations are now closed. Winners will be announced soon!
