Rosemont Releases Statement for Pride Month
Katie DuBoff - June 3, 2021
A core value of Rosemont College is to have trust in, and reverence for, the dignity of each person. This Pride Month, Rosemont College begins a journey toward being more purposeful, and explicit, about this value including LGBTQIA+ individuals. We commit to being more thoughtful and intentional about LGBTQIA+ inclusion with the goal of students, faculty, staff, and alumni who identify in this way feeling a sense of belonging at Rosemont. We aim to lead by example to demonstrate to our broader community that one can be both rooted in Catholicism and committed to inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people. In the spirit of Cornelia Connelly, foundress of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, whose educational philosophy is at the heart of Rosemont College, we are committed to actions not words. Throughout Pride Month, and beyond, members of the Rosemont community will gather to define what actions we will take to be more inclusive of our LGBTQIA+ members. Please look for further communications about how you can be a part of this.
Are you interested in joining the group of students, faculty, staff, and alumni who are partnering to make Rosemont a more inclusive community for LGBTQIA+ members? If so, please complete this form and tell us what efforts you’re interested in.
