On the Road: 250+ attend Campus Pride LGBT-Friendly College Fair in Boston, MA
Wow! I am on a plane now, still reeling from the Campus Pride LGBT-friendly College Fair we held today in Boston, MA There were 250+ LGBT and ally high school students and their families from across the New England area in attendance.
Personally, I want to say thank you to Friends of GLBT Youth who were co-sponsors with the fair. It was a wonderful collaboration. Thank you Shane M., Lex, Tim, Trish, Cory, Eric, Allison, Pierce and all the other amazing volunteers. Plus a special thanks to Edge News who wrote this wonderful piece the day prior (http://www.edgeboston.com/index.php?ch=news&sc=&sc2=news&sc3=&id=96940)
The Campus Pride National College Fair Program is in its third year and this was our first time in Boston. I arrived the night before and while the Red Sox lost at Fenway, we hit a GRAND SLAM today. The fair had an astounding 40 colleges from across the nation and was actually hosted in the Great Hall of the State House in Massachusetts. Talk about progressive – another example how Massachusetts is leading the way. It truly was a special event, One parent put it best in an email the week leading up to the fair:
Campus Pride is the leading national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization for student leaders and campus organizations working to create a safer LGBT learning environment at colleges and universities. It exists to develop, support and give "voice and action" in building future LGBT and ally leaders.
