Join us for our Fall 2023 LUally sessions by heading to go.lehigh.edu/LUally.

We are offering custom LUally sessions for faculty, staff, and student groups on campus. Interested in hosting us for a meeting? Reach out to us at PrideCenter@lehigh.edu. Here are some highlights of what we can do! 

LUally delivers skills-based, educational opportunities for the Lehigh community, while centering the philosophy that allyship is a continuous process that looks different for everyone. Participants have the ability to personalize their learning to meet their own goals as an ally. Attendees can earn 25 Be Well points for every LUally training session attended.  Upcoming LUally sessions will be advertised via our newsletter and social media. For more information or to receive our weekly newsletter, email pridecenter@lehigh.edu

The Pride Center's Statement on Allyship:

We believe that allyship is an active, lifelong commitment to showing up for and advocating alongside historically marginalized communities. 

By leveraging power and privilege, allies practice ongoing learning, embrace challenges, and own their mistakes in order to create a just, equitable world for all. 

LUallies are:

  • Willing to make mistakes
  • Mindful of multiple identities
  • Respectful of all stories
  • Accountable for their actions & the actions of their communities
