Student Achievement
Wear It Purple Day
04 September
Recently at Damascus College the Pride Committee led us for Wear It Purple Day which strives to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for LGBTQIA+ allies, friends, family and colleagues.
Students and staff were invited to drop by the Rainbow Stall at lunchtime in the courtyard for information, flyers and other giveaways. They also had the opportunity to just have a chat with staff and/or fellow students present. There was also an opportunity to add their own empowering message for the 2023 theme "Write Your Story" to motivate LGBTQIA+ youth.
Wear It Purple Day is an annual awareness day at the end of August. The event was created to help support LGBTQIA+ youth with a day of celebration, activities, and wearing purple so that rainbow youth no longer felt alone.
Today’s message by students and staff was clear and simple “Everybody has the right to be proud of who they are.”
