The Santa Fe LGBTQIA+ community gathered Sept. 15-17 to celebrate Pride on the Santa Fe University of Art and Design campus and throughout town.

SFUAD will host numerous Santa Fe Pride 2017 events on campus.

On April 23, Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Quad was decked out in rainbows, pinks, purples and blues. Pride flags swung wildly as students, faculty, staff and members of the local community gathered to celebrate the LGBT community with a commemoratory drag show.

Colors, SFUAD’s LGBTQIA+ is back in action for the Fall 2016 term with meetings and initiatives to foster education and inclusivity.

Good news for transgender and non-binary students recently came out of Mouton: Assistant Director of Students Affairs Jeremy Hadley and Executive Director of Student Affairs and Operations Melissa Rudd have proposed new policies to allow students to use names other than their birth names on certain school documents such as student IDs, emails and class rosters.
