Celebrate Pride Month with the University Libraries! Pride Month displays can be found at both libraries this month.

Did you know that we also have a digital guide dedicated to q***r library resources? Visit the link in our bio, scroll down to our DEI Resources section, and click on the Q***r Library Resources link!

Pride Month is celebrated annually to commemorate the Stonewall Riots that began on June 28th, 1969. This month is a time of celebration for the LGBTQIA+ community and serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the enduring global impact the community has had.

While the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights continues to this day, this month is dedicated to recognizing the challenges of the past and embracing a hopeful outlook for the future.

Image Description:
The background is light gray. In the foreground is the text, "Happy Pride Month," which is in rainbow lettering to match the Progress Pride Flag. Beneath is more text that reads, "Now available at both Michener and Skinner Music Library!" At the bottom of the graphic is rainbow confetti and a pale purple callout cloud with text that reads, "Visit our Q***r Library Resources Guide! Link in bio!"

In the summer of 1947, Albert J. Martin, drove this Ford Model A car from Greeley, CO to Mexico City. He undertook the journey of over 1,700 miles to attend summer school for Spanish as he worked on his BA in Foreign Languages at Colorado State College of Education (UNC's former name), a degree which he completed in 1949.

Three big benefits of OER (Open Educational Resources) that truly make a difference:

#1 - Accessible, adaptable materials for all learners. No waiting for shipping. No, “I’ll get the book next week.” Every student has the material on the first day of class.

#2 - Flexibility & Customization Faculty can adapt, remix, and update content to fit their course goals and student needs. Learning becomes more relevant, current, and inclusive.

OER aren’t just about free materials. They’re about equity, access, and empowering students to succeed.
