About BU Pride in Business
Pride in Business stands as a vital student organization at Boston University in Boston, MA, committed to creating a genuinely welcoming space for LGBTQ+ students pursuing careers in business. The organization's core mission recognizes that LGBTQ+ professionals face distinct challenges and opportunities in the workplace, and Pride in Business exists to provide the support, resources, and community necessary to help students navigate their career paths with confidence and authenticity.
What sets Pride in Business apart is its holistic approach to student support, extending beyond career resources to encompass community wellbeing and personal development. The organization connects members with essential community resources including The Trevor Project for crisis support, Boston University's Center for Gender, Sexuality and Activism (CGSA) which offers safe spaces and support groups, and the National Center for Transgender Equality for advocacy and information. Additionally, Pride in Business facilitates access to BU's LGBTQ+ support groups, creating multiple pathways for students to find emotional support, build friendships, and explore their identities in affirming environments.
As a student-run initiative, Pride in Business embodies the values of peer support, community care, and collective empowerment. The organization recognizes that career success is inseparable from overall wellbeing, and therefore prioritizes both professional development and personal support for its members. By serving the Boston University community, Pride in Business demonstrates that inclusive business organizations can be spaces of genuine belonging where LGBTQ+ students feel seen, valued, and supported in both their professional aspirations and personal journeys.
