National Student Pride 2024
National Student Pride is BACK
We're bringing you a three-day extravaganza of celebration, dialogue & debate, networking, and prestigious awards, taking place across the weekend of February 23rd - 25th 2024!
With panels, Celebrity interviews, live performances, Careers Fair & Marketplace and so much more we're excited to open the doors of the University of Westminster's Marylebone campus to LGBTQIA+ students from across the country.
