Pride List
In celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month and our diverse Racer family, the Pride Center is proud to release the 2022 Pride List. We are honored to have the support of administrators from across campus alongside our students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members who make this initiative so special. Pride List signatures represent LGBTQIA+ Racers who want to share their pride and allies who want to make their support known to the campus community.
If you did not get to sign the Pride List it is not too late! We will continue to collect signatures throughout the month of October. Sign the 2022 Pride List today!

A note from Abigail Cox, Pride Center Director
As the Pride Center Director, it is my privilege to meet our amazing students who
are stepping into their authentic selves and striving for success here at Murray State.
They are my constant reminder to believe in the power that we each hold as individuals
to positively impact the world around us. When they see the Pride List, my hope is
that they know and sense that the campus community is for them and they are encouraged
to continue pursuing their goals.
Thank you to each person who has taken time to be a part of our 2022 Pride List. Your
participation and your messages of support have been meaningful!

A Note from Ellie McGowan, SGA President and Student Regent
As the Murray State University Student Government Association President, it is my honor to represent and serve our incredible student population. The Murray State University Pride List is a testament to Murray State’s lifelong commitment of acceptance, love, and belonging for all members of our Racer community. As a student here, you are cherished and valued for who you are, and the 2022 Pride List serves to welcome students and connect them to faculty, administration, and their peers.
Our Murray State Family would not be complete without you in it. It is my hope that here you will find true values of acceptance and inclusion and that you will seek endless opportunities within it. If Student Government can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
