Part of the club’s mission is to build a sense of community for LGBTQ+ and ally individuals; to raise awareness; and to promote organization citizenship in order to serve the interests of the student body and the surrounding community. The students and alumni who make up the Cougar Pride Club host regular meetings; LGBTQ+ and Allies Socials on campus; and sponsor programs.
