ULI proudly stands in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ community members, staff, and allies as we honor and celebrate Pride throughout the month of June. Pride represents a time of liberation and is celebrated each year during the month of June to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising, which took place on June 28, 1969.

ULI affirms its commitment to fostering diverse, inclusive, and vibrant communities within the built environment. We recognize the vital role that queer spaces play in promoting acceptance, unity, and the well-being of the LGBTQIA+ community. Join us as we continue the tradition of reading, watching, listening, and acting towards a more diverse and inclusive community.
