Apparently a week of BGLTQ pride just wasn’t enough. Now it’s a whole month.

Harvard ‘Pride’ Expands From Week to Month

The Office of BGLTQ Student Life, in partnership with other campus organizations, has expanded Harvard’s Pride Week into Pride Month in order to increase its thematic scope and impact on students.

Throughout the month of April, the Office of BGLTQ Student Life has facilitated an event series, entitled Harvard Pride ’14, centered on queer issues and student life. Campus organizations—including Queer Students and Allies, the queer Jewish student group BAGELS, and the Committee on Degrees in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality—organized and sponsored individual events.

“We found that only providing programming in a week limited the opportunities for students to engage in community,” Director of the Office of BGLTQ Student Life Vanidy “Van” Bailey wrote in an email, adding that a single week limited the range of topics discussed.

According to Bailey, this sentiment led to the decision by the Office of BGLTQ Student Life to increase both the duration of Pride ’14 and the number of campus organizations it partnered with for Pride Month’s programming.
