Pride Student Union

Who are we?

FIU's Pride Student Union (PSU) is a student-led programming bureau of the Student Government Association that is supported by the Pride Center and is funded by student fees and private donations.

The purpose of PSU is to educate, uplift, and engage the 2SLGBTQIA+, SGL, allied, and other marginalized, intersectional communities at FIU. PSU also strives to empower the student body in their efforts to make the most of their college experience, contribute to student success and equity, and promote unity. 

Our Mission

The mission of the Pride Student Union is to center, engage, support and promote pride through an intersectional, marginalized perspective. PSU is here to create a brave space where students, regardless of their gender or sexuality, can learn and grow to their fullest potential. PSU seeks the creation of student leadership opportunities through the unification of university-wide gender-related, sexuality-related, and sexual health-related programming. 

PSU is focused on creating impactful and lasting change through advocacy on this campus. PSU serves as a bridge and unified voice addressing concerns of the student body to the SGA, FIU administration, FIU Board of Trustees, and Florida Board of Governors.
