The Pride Alliance is here for the entire NYIT community where LGBTQ+ students and ally students are welcome to express themselves and learn in the process. Being a part of this club means that you will have a platform to be heard and make decisions that will leave a lasting impact on the school and the school’s environment for others to do so as well. You will gain knowledge from panels and group discussions determined to educate students on issues still present in the LGBT community and you will be given the opportunity to have experiences you might not have thought about pursuing before. We encourage collaboration, inclusivity, and progress towards the larger and ever-present goal of bringing the students at NYIT closer together.
