Return of the Rainbow

ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ's Homecoming for current and past 2SLGBTQIA+ students, staff, and faculty

Since 2001, this annual celebration has offered an opportunity for queer members of the ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ community to share and hear meaningful stories of intergenerational queerness at ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ over cocktails. 


ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
