Campus Pride welcomes our Fall 2021 class of student interns

Campus Pride is able to offer many of our student programs and resources thanks to our amazing team of volunteers. Every semester, we welcome a new class of interns as a part of the Campus Pride team. We’re happy to announce our Fall 2021 class of interns, as well as welcome back a number of our Summer 2021 interns as student staff. 

Our Fall 2021 interns were selected from a pool of college and university students nationwide. Our student interns are currently studying or recently received their Bachelor’s degrees in majors like English, journalism, psychology and gender studies.
