Project Mission

The LGBTQ+ community has long fought discrimination and ostracization. Though we have made many strides, there are still many areas in society where oppression is real and threatening. While the Pride Center at Everett Community College is a worthy endeavor, one must ask how an already marginalized community is given such a small space? In this project, I will be conducting a survey with the overall goal of assessing if the current Pride Center is meeting the needs and wants of the LGBTQ+ students on campus.
