FYI

We’re celebrating a piece of Spartan history today 🏛️

In 2008, San José State opened what was first known as the LGBT Center, now called the PRIDE Center. This milestone started with dedicated students, staff and faculty who came together to create a space where people could connect and feel supported.

From small gatherings in the late 1960s to a permanent location in 2008 and a move to the Student Union in 2016, the PRIDE Center has grown into a hub for events, resources and connection.

Take a look back at how it all started and how it continues to bring Spartans together:
