Congrats to the Class of 2015!
The LGBT Resource Center would like to thank everyone who volunteered, participated, and joined us on Saturday, June 6th for the annual Rainbow Graduation and Induction into the LGBT Alumni Ceremony.
It was beautiful to come together and wrap up the year with the UC San Diego LGBT community to honor the students who are graduating, our volunteers, our interns, our group facilitators, our staff, and all who have impacted our community over the last year.
We hope you had fun and stop on by this summer! We'll be open from 8:00a-4:30p every weekday starting June 15. If not, see you all in the fall!
