The Progress Pride flag flying on campus for Pride Month.
November marks Pride Month in Western Australia, a time to celebrate the diversity, visibility and strength of LGBTIQA+ communities.
This year, ECU will again be taking part in PrideFEST events through Pride WA as well as hosting and collaborating on some of our own events.
We encourage you to get involved, learn something new and stand proudly alongside colleagues and students who continue to champion inclusion every day. You can also explore the broader program of Pride activities in November coordinated by Pride WA here.
