UCLA Spring Grad LGBTQ+ Pride Mixer
June 6, 2025
C-LARAH is honored to have co-sponsored the Inaugural UCLA Spring Grad LGBTQ+ Pride Mixer—a celebration of Unapologetic Joy. This special event honored both the end of the academic year and the beginning of Pride Month, creating a vibrant and affirming space for LGBTQ+ and allied graduate students from across UCLA to come together, connect, and celebrate. In a time when queer joy is both necessary and revolutionary, this mixer centered visibility, community, and celebration across disciplines and identities.
Designed as a cocktail-style gathering, the event featured music, complimentary food and an open bar, rainbow-themed giveaways, and a keynote speaker Freddy Puza, the Vice Mayer of Culver City.
This event was proudly hosted by OUT@Fielding, Out@Anderson, the Center for LGBTQ+ Advocacy, Research and Health (C-LARAH), the Graduate Student Association (GSA), the Graduate Student Resource Center (GSRC), and the Pride Alliance at DGSOM, with additional support from UCLA’s wider graduate, LGBTQ+, and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) community.
