Virtual Wall
Show Your Pride on the Virtual Wall
Happy Pride Month to the College of Pharmacy community. As we celebrate the diversity and inclusion of all members of our community, we are inviting you to share your Pride inspirations and moments (either as a member of the LGBTQ+ community or as an ally) on a virtual wall. At the end of the month, all contributions will be compiled into a poster that will be displayed on all three campuses during the fall term. Show your support, share some love, and see yourself represented with a picture!
