Mt. SAC Pride Center

The Center is intended to be a safe space- to create a safe space requires that we all take responsibility for our contributions to maintaining such space for all. We are working to not replicate systems of oppression so that we can be our authentic selves.  The goal of the Pride Center is to support the success of LGBTQ+ students. It is not an 'anything goes' space. 

• Be true to yourself!
  • All identities are welcome!
• Step out of your comfort zone
  • But don't force others out of their own
• Practice ultimate R•E•S•P•E•C•T
  • Pronouns! We're not amateurs
  • Be an ally, not a hater
• Treat this space as our home
  • Not your bedroom
• Think, ask, act, listen, and adapt
  • Use trigger warnings
  • "Swiper, no swiping!"
• Vegas rules: keep the lessons, leave the details
• Read the room, not just each other
• Throw glitter, not shade
• Step up, step down
• Community, not cliques
• Build bridges, not fences
• Accountability with empathy
• Observe Study and Social Hours to build a space where all minds can thrive

Remember, you are loved, you are valid, we are community.If you have any agreements that you want to add, feel free to submit them with our suggestion form!

As a campus entity we also abide by the Mt. SAC Student Standards of Conduct.
