Welcome to the Pride Resource Center!

The Pride Resource Center opened in 2003 to provide a safe space for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer/Questioning, Intersexed, and Ally (LGBTQIA) community members at Pacific.  The Pride Resource Center also has a lot of resources for the LGBTQIA community, and is home to the most comfortable couch on Pacific's campus, a state of the art computer with graphic design programs, and several identity flags to symbolize various LGBTQIA communities.

The Pride Resource Center is open from 12-10 PM Monday through Friday, but it remains locked when no one is using it.  To get into the Pride Resource Center, just sign the sign in sheet and ask the staff member at the MC front desk to let you in.  After spring break, the Center will be staffed full time from 12-10 PM by volunteers.  There are still several time slots left to be filled, so if you are interested in volunteering to staff the Pride Resource Center, please contact one of the Pride Resource Center staff:


Devon Guidoux, the Pride Resource Center Program Coordinator and Graduate Assistant at dguidoux@pacific.edu.  Devon is also safe zone trained, and a safe zone trainer.  You can find Devon in the Pride Resource Center between 10 AM and 2 PM Monday through Thursday, or you can always schedule a meeting at some other time.  Devon is fond of talking with their hands and the word "rad".





Macey Harris, the Pride Resource Center Services Coordinator.  Macey is a graphic design major, and as you can see has super rad hair and super rad sunglasses.  You can contact Macey at m_harris12@u.pacific.edu.


Eva Tamsky, the Pride Resource Center Outreach Coordinator.  She is a vocal performance major and just recently put on a program called Sexuality & Spirituality at the MC which discussed the intersection of those two seemingly incompatible concepts.  The program had great turnout.  You can contact Eva at e_tamsky@u.pacific.edu.


The Pride Resource Center has built a strong and vibrant community among the LGBTQIA community at Pacific.  The Center is also on Facebook.  Come hang out sometime and meet the staff and volunteers!
