March with BUMC at the Boston LGBT Pride Parade, June 9
The Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs invites the BUMC community to march with “PRIDE” and show support for LGBT students, faculty and staff in the Annual Boston LGBT Pride Parade on Saturday, June 9. Showing your support for LGBT friends and colleagues reaffirms our openness and strengthens the diverse fabric of our institution.
“The parade is a fun event which fosters change and progress in our society by embracing the LGBT community’s history, culture, and identity. Additionally, the parade promotes community engagement and inclusivity,” explained Associate Dean, Diversity and Multicultural Affairs Rafael Ortega, MD.
If you are interested in marching please contact the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs by emailing Lance Martin, indicating that you plan to participate. The BUMC contingent will “line up” on Boylston St. at 11 a.m. on June 9. The Office will provide additional information and updates regarding the time and exact location of the the pre-march meeting.
Join us and march proudly under the BU Banner.
