Varsity Pride
The Varsity Pride Advisory Board is a group of volunteers who meet throughout the year to help Varsity staff program the Varsity Pride series. We are committed to telling LGBTQ+ stories throughout the year and the advisory board helps ensure this series features voices and perspectives from across the queer community.
Varsity Pride is presented in partnership with Krause Group.
