The UNMC Student Pride Alliance is a campus-wide Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual and Ally (LGBTQIA+) education and support group. Student Pride Alliance fosters acceptance to create a more diverse and accepting environment. In addition, the alliance advocates on patient care issues and health disparities that disproportionately affect the LGBTQIA+ community. The group meets regularly throughout the year, and meetings are open to all students, faculty, and staff.
The UNMC & Nebraska Medicine LGBTQ+ Employee Alliance strives to promote an accepting and diverse culture across the enterprise. In addition to providing mentoring and peer support to LGBTQ+ community members at UNMC & Nebraska Medicine, our activities aim to promote the well-being of LGBTQ+ faculty, students, staff, and patients as well as to facilitate on-campus educational efforts regarding LGBTQ+ issues.
Membership to the group is open for all UNMC and Nebraska Medicine employees. Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community or one of our supporters, all are welcome!
The Safe Space training is for any UNMC or Nebraska Medicine student, faculty, or staff member who would like to be trained and identify as an ally to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans spectrum, queer spectrum, intersex, asexual, gender spectrum, Two-Spirit, and/or sexuality spectrum (LGBTQ+) students, faculty, staff, and patients.
