On February 18, 2010, Eastern Connecticut State University officially opened the new Pride Room on the first floor of the Student Center in room 109. The purpose of this new resource room is to provide a welcoming environment and advocate for the LGBTQA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Ally) community. Anyone can be an ally and through future events it is the hope that more allies wll be gained through education and understanding.

During the opening, there were several speakers who shared their perspectives. President Elsa Núñez spoke passionately about the importance of the new space and emphasized that it should be seen as a starting point for those in the LGBTQA community at Eastern. Ken Bedini, vice president of student affairs also expressed his support and commitment to the mission of the Pride Room. SGA Vice President Corrine King, alumnus Jennifer Paradis, Professor Lula Blocton and Professor Cara Bergstrom-Lynch all articulated the importance of the Pride Room to the student body and how it shows progress within our society that this room has become a reality.

There was clear support from people who attended the ceremony shown by way of signatures on a banner that commemorated the occasion. Many more individuals have visited the room since the opening and left messages of support and acceptance. This was all made possible due to the dedication, work and support from administrators, faculty, staff and students. The Pride Room is now open so look for events being organized in the near future and feel free to check out the room!
