NC State's Campus Community Centers are comprised of the African American Cultural Center, the LGBTQ Pride Center, Multicultural Student Affairs, and the Women's Center. The Campus Community Centers work to cultivate a sense of community, belonging and affirmation. We provide spaces of support, leadership development, and education for students at NC State University.

LGBTQ Pride Center

The mission of the LGBTQ Pride Center is to engage, develop and empower members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities along with their allies. To fulfill that mission, we assist students, staff and faculty in finding and creating community. Specifically, we offer identity-based and health-related information and resources; consult with campus community members individually and collectively on issues related to personal identity and academic success; provide professional and leadership development opportunities; and host educational events and programs. 

Additionally we support our students by centering the dimensions of wellness, joy, selfcare and rest! We aim to do this work through an equity lens, and the practice of cultural humility.
