Keep an eye out under the “Niche Academy” topic section in the library for new courses. Please don’t forget to submit a Self-Reported Training in MetroU after attending any of the outside training opportunities to reflect these trainings on your transcript.

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!
