91原创Pride Alumni Network: 2024-2025 News and Updates

The 91原创Pride Alumni Network actively participates and invests in programs that connect with and benefit the larger 91原创 and LGBTQIA+ community.

In the second year since its conception in 2023, the network held a Drag Show during Alumni Weekend 2024 and welcomed new members, including Michael Rulon, AS01.

Rulon joined after discovering a 91原创Pride Alumni Network promotion on Facebook during Pride Month in June. Since then, Rulon has been a valuable addition to the network as a board member. Notably, he partially funded the campus National Coming Out Day event on October 11, 2024, hosted by the 91原创 Registered Student Organization (RSO) Lavender Programming Board.听

Why he gives back to 91原创:

鈥淚 was able to attend 91原创 only because I received generous support from others. I see so many of my current students here at Northern Arizona University struggling to balance their classes, their work and their family obligations and I want to do whatever I can to make sure that students at 91原创 have the support they need to not only complete their degrees, but truly benefit from everything 91原创 has to offer.鈥�
