Invitation

Pride Camp is an event focused on community learning and building for LGBTQIA+ persons and their allies. Registration is required, but all students, faculty, staff, and community members are welcome to attend. You do not have to have attended any previous Pride Camps to participate.

This Virtual Spring 2021 Pride Camp will feature both a workshop and a dialogue event with professor, national speaker, freelance journalist, thought leader and media critic Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins (DoctorJonPaul).

Named Business Equality Magazine’s “Top 40 LGBTQ People Under 40”, DoctorJonPaul’s work has been featured on sites like NBC News, Vox, VICE, MTV News, Essence, Out Magazine, TedX and more. They have worked on several inclusion projects with top brands like Apple, Disney, Instagram and the NFL and currently teach about diversity and inclusion at the University of Redlands. They hold a doctorate in educational justice and often write and lecture about what liberation means for queer Black people and how we can help them not just survive, but thrive.

Zoom information will be emailed to participants closer to the day of the events. Participants are welcome to attend either one or both events.

Workshop: 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM CST
Dialogue: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM CST
