Pride Center

Overview

CSM’s Pride Center is committed to serving students, faculty, and staff who identify as LGBTQQIA+ and their advocates. The Pride Center strives to be a safe space where individuals can express themselves unapologetically, foster a sense of community and belonging, engage in community activism, and learn more about allyship and advocacy within the LGBTQ+ community as well as for other marginalized communities.

  • LGBTQIA+ Personal Counseling will be available in the Pride Center on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Please email csmpersonalcounseling@smccd.edu for an appointment.
  • SafeZone Alliance will have their first meeting on 9/3 at 1:10pm!
