Pink Shirt Day

Thank you to everyone who wore pink to campus on Wednesday, April 12 as part of International Day of Pink.

The International Day of Pink began in Nova Scotia after two straight high school students witnessed a gay student being bullied. The gay student was wearing a pink shirt at the time. The two students intervened, but wanted to do more to prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying. From there, International Day of Pink was created and has one purpose, to create a more inclusive and diverse world.
