Pride Initiatives Earn National Recognition; University of Pittsburgh: PittWire, September 19, 2018

University of Pittsburgh: PittWire; Pride Initiatives Earn National Recognition

"The first-ever, nationwide Live Proud on Campus contest — sponsored by AT&T and the Human Rights Campaign — last year awarded Pitt student Amy Kelley and two other finalists a $10,000 scholarship and $2,500 in funding support. The charge: Develop a project to increase LGBTQIA+ awareness and acceptance on their college campuses.

Now a senior and resident assistant studying social work and applied developmental psychology in the School of Education, Kelley is in the process of pilot testing an as-yet unnamed program that aims to create dialogue among students around identity, acceptance and differences. She is assembling a team of peer facilitators to lead discussions and be visible student allies."
