Philosophy
At the heart of a remarkable leader is a passion and a vision for change. Campus Pride believes in kindling this passion, nurturing the soul and inspiring “voice and action” among student leaders. The educational program promotes progressive critical thinking and leadership concepts built on a foundation of social justice and civility. Expert faculty and presenters encourage activism and individual growth to become a more effective change agent and leader on campus. The “campy” environment also encourages participants to openly express themselves and have fun.
