USFCA Pride List

The USF Staff & Faculty PrideList is a resource made available to the USF community to promote the visibility of LGBTQ+ professionals, and encourage connection across various offices, departments, and disciplines.

This compiled list could not exist without our elders, who have historically fought against social stigma and targeted violence towards our community. They have paved the way for future generations to live in a world where we can openly express our pride without shame or fear while we continue the fight for equity.

If you would like to be included in future iterations of the USF PrideList, please email djperezsornia@usfca.edu.
