Murdoch’s Pride Calendar

Published: 18th October 2022

As we spring into November, there’s more than pollen in the air – there’s a whole lot of Pride! November is LGBTIQA+ Pride Month in WA. At Murdoch, we are thrilled to share the initiatives we’ll be hosting to celebrate and support our LGBTIQA+ Staff and Student community.

Em Readman, Murdoch’s Pride and Respect Officer, says that, “University is such an important space for the queer community, and it is phenomenal to have so much happening this November, both on campus and around Perth.” 

“Pride Month is a great chance for boosting visibility and celebrating our LGBTIQA+ community, and I hope to see as many people as possible at our upcoming events!” 

Free Pride at Murdoch goodies 

Pop on over to Counselling reception anytime during the month of November to pick up a free pronoun badge and a Pride 2022 postcard print! The badges have plenty of options to choose from, and the postcard is a great one to brighten up your work or study space.
