Critical Conversations: bridging pathways forward to greater understanding and creative solutions.

Pratt LGBTQ+ Alumni Affinity Group

The Pratt LGBTQ+ Alumni Affinity Group serves as a network for members of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies through various events and educational programming. Membership in the network is self-identified and community based. The affinity group also partners with the Center for Equity and Inclusion on student programming initiatives.

Our vision is an intergenerational community of LGBTQ+ alumni and allies. Our mission is to create opportunities for meaningful connections with one another and the Institute. We support and improve campus and alumni community commitments to diversity, inclusivity, and continued education, and are affirming of all identities.
