The mission of the Pride Center at Bridgewater State University is to support gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally students and their peers, and to foster a campus climate of inclusion and equity.
14% of BSU students openly identify as LGBTQIA+ and we offer a variety of services and resources that promote their success.
No matter how you identify, the Pride Center is here for you.
