June is Pride Month, but FIT proudly embraces the LGBTQIA+ community year-round, with student events like the ever-popular Drag Pageant (now in its 16th year), Safe Zone training for employees and student leaders, and gender-inclusive housing and gender-neutral restrooms on campus.
Alumni Relations is also holding a Pride Happy Hour at Cowgirl in the West Village on June 20 at 6 pm. Register online.
Check out SUNY’s Calendar of Pride Events including PrideFest and the NYC Pride March. Students, faculty, and staff can register to walk with SUNY in the parade here.
This two-minute video was produced by Advertising and Marketing Communications students Isabela Corriere and Natalia Vega as part of a course. They interviewed student drag contestants about what the pageant meant to them.
