Come out and celebrate the newest Queer Caps taps this Thursday, April 25th at 12:00 PM on the Steps of Old West. The entire campus community is invited to recognize the achievement of the 2025 Queer Caps class.

In 2008, the Queer Caps were established to encourage visibility of queer activists on campus. At the time, many students felt there wasn’t enough visibility of, and recognition for, the value of queer programming. The founders described the students selected as individuals who advocated for queer rights and consistently worked to make positive change.
