Campus Pride

About Campus Pride

Campus Pride represents the leading national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization for student leaders and campus groups working to create a safer college environment for LGBTQ students. The organization is a volunteer-driven network “for” and “by” student leaders. The primary objective of Campus Pride is to develop necessary resources, programs and services to support LGBTQ and ally students on college campuses across the United States.

Founded in the Fall of 2001 and launched a year later in October of 2002, Campus Pride started as an online community and resource clearinghouse under the name Campus PrideNet. The original partners were M. Chad Wilson, Sarah E. Holmes & Shane L. Windmeyer. In 2006, Windmeyer expanded the organization outreach efforts and became the 501c3 educational non-profit organization known as Campus Pride. As part of the restructuring process, the Lambda 10 Project for LGBT Fraternity & Sorority Issues became an educational initiative of Campus Pride. Our founder and current executive director is national LGBTQ civil rights leader and campus pioneer Shane L. Windmeyer.
