To kick off Sonoma State’s recognition of Pride Month, graduate student Xander Starling, Cultural Heritage & Resources Management MS, raised the Pride Flag on campus on May 29, 2025!

CHRM Graduate Program Coordinator, Dr. Alexis Boutin, joined in the event along with other members of campus to mark the beginning of Pride Month. This event continued with sign making just in time for the Sonoma County Pride Parade on May 31 in downtown Santa Rosa.

Sonoma State University once again sponsored Sonoma County Pride this year and is proud to celebrate the vibrant diversity that enriches our community.
