Paint Your Pride
Wednesday, October 9 | 3 - 4 pm | SAC 130
Come paint your pride! A time for making new friends, expressing yourself through art, and sharing life experiences. We will provide you everything you need. We can't wait to see you! Refreshments will be provided.
National Coming Out Day honors the experience of sharing your gender or sexual identity for the first time with another person. While one may ultimately have countless “coming out” conversations in their lifetime, the first time someone shares this part of themselves with another person is often life-changing.
