Celebrate Spirit Day on October 15!
LGBTQ youth disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities. Each year, millions go purple for Spirit Day to support LGBTQIA+ youth in a united stand against bullying. Pledging to “go purple” on Spirit Day is a way for everyone — global and local brands and companies, world leaders, celebrities, neighbors, parents, classmates, and friends — to visibly show solidarity with youth and to take part in the largest, most visible LGBTQIA+ anti-bullying campaign in the world.
Join Student Life for a Spirit Day Zoom Selfie!
Join us on Thursday, October 15 at 2 p.m. via Zoom to GO PURPLE and take a group photo in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ Youth! Wear a purple shirt, decorate your desk, find a festive virtual background, or dress up your pet! We will share screenshots from Zoom on Student Life’s social media. We hope to see you there!
