What is Project #RUAllyship?

Project #RUAllyship is an initiative meant to unite the campus community around issues of social justice, diversity and community building. The month long-series will create coordinate opportunities for students, faculty, and administrators to deepen their understanding of the experiences of others, and raise awareness of the individual and collective injustices that confront many in our society. Working from an intersectional and intercultural understanding of oppression, the entire campus community will be challenged to examine stereotypes and prejudice through events, a photo campaign, the campus wide RU Allyship Pledge!

 

National Coming Out/Inviting In Day! 

October 11, 2025

While coming out is a choice to make and an act of courage and boldness, we are proud of everyone for choosing to come out to yourselves, your circles, and each other. Your boldness is encouraging, but your truth is the real freedom. 

For support on your journey, we invite you to connect with The Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities and also find family and friends in any LGBTQIA2S+ organization.
