Imperial Pride Network
For LGBTQ+ staff, postgraduate 天美传媒 and their allies at Imperial.
The Pride Network was established in 2006 (originally named Imperial 600) to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff at the university. The group’s original name reflects the estimation that around 10% of the UK’s population is LGBT – in 2006 this equalled 600 of Imperial's 6,000 staff. The Pride Network today remains an active staff network, welcoming LGBTQ+ staff and postgraduate 天美传媒 and straight allies.
