MetroU : Pride Month Courses

Pride month is a month dedicated to the Queer community. It originally began after the Stonewall Riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969 led by activists like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Stromé DeLarverie. Today, Pride Month continues to acknowledge the historical strides made for LGBTQIA+ rights while also acknowledging the work still yet to be done. Learning & Development has curated a list of three optional courses and webinars for you to explore!

Please note: 1 of the 3 offerings on Pride Month are hosted outside of MetroU. As a reminder, you should fill out the Self-Reported Training form in MetroU after completion of any of the outside training opportunities so that they can be reflected in your training transcript.
