Display Host: The University of Tennessee, KnoxvillePride Center (UT Pride Center) - Since 2010 the Pride Center at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville has strived to be a space for all members of the UT community to engage with and explore issues relating to gender and sexuality. The center’s mission is accomplished through its educational programming focusing on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation; its contributions to and maintenance of a campus LGBTQ+ community; and advocating for equitable access for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff at the university. Our panel display this year is dedicated to the lives lost from HIV/AIDS and the people that we lose daily from discrimination, ignorance, and inequitable access.
