Hawkeye Pride


Hawkeye Pride Alumni Network serves as a supportive and professional network for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and allied (LGBTQ+) alumni. This group will foster a sense of pride in and commitment to the University of 鶹ƽ; provide educational resources on LGBTQ+ issues; offer networking and social events; and support current LGBTQ+ students at 鶹ƽ.

Our Leadership

The Hawkeye Pride community will represent the broad diversity of all Hawkeyes across various departmental affiliations, class years, geographies, and personal and professional backgrounds. Its membership will span the United States and beyond.

To serve on the leadership board, you must:

  • Be an exemplar of ideal engagement for our constituents and current students
  • Promote alumni engagement through social, educational, and philanthropic initiatives and programs
  • Attend full board meetings and participate in committees and other board projects between regular meetings.
  • Serve a three-year term.

Pride Alliance Center

Part of the mission of Hawkeye Pride is to support current students. The , known by many students as the “Pride House,” provides a supportive and inclusive environment. It also hosts programs that empower students, faculty, staff, and community members to excel in academic endeavors, experience diversity, engage in activism, make positive choices, and serve their community.

Queer After College

Queer After College is a mentor program in which LGBTQ+ University of 鶹ƽ alumni connect with and support current LGBTQ+ students as they move through their academic program and toward graduation. As an outcome of this program, students will feel more prepared to:

  • Find an affirming job that supports their LGBTQ identity
  • Build queer community after college
  • Connect academic goals and experiences with career goals

This program, in partnership with the Pride Alliance Center and the Hawkeye Pride Alumni Network, is always looking for alums who want to get involved and be mentors!
