StrathPride
The LGBTQI+ Staff & PGR Network at the University of Strathclyde
In alignment with Strathclyde's commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, in 2020 the STEM Equals team worked with the Equality & Diversity Office to facilitate the creation of StrathPride: the LGBTQI+ staff and PGR network.
We believe the network provides an opportunity to build a more diverse and inclusive university community, and enhance support for and visibility of LGBTQI+ people at Strathclyde.
Who is the network for?
StrathPride is open to LGBTQI+ staff and PGRs, and our allies. LGBTQI+ includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual people (+ more). Allies are welcome in the network, however please note that some meetings or events may be held exclusively for the LGBTQI+ members.

Over 200 Strathclyde staff and PGR students who are LGBTQI+ and our allies have joined StrathPride since it formally launched on 21 October 2020.
Members are from across the university: of our current members, 26% are from central Professional Services (e.g. Student Experience, Library, HR) and Strath Union staff; 21% are from the Faculty Engineering; 21% are from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences; 15% are from the Faculty of Science; 11% are from the Strathclyde Business School.
Access info
We are committed to ensuring our meetings and events are accessible to disabled, deaf and ill LGBTQI+ colleagues and allies.
Network meetings are held online or hybrid. Informal meet-ups are held both on campus and online (usually alternating). Any Network events held on campus will be hosted in accessible venues with level or lift access and an accessible gender neutral toilet.
If you have any queries or specific access requirements to enable full participation in the Network, please get in touch with us.
