In 2023, UD had a monumental year of embracing programs and resources around diversity, equity and inclusion, including the newly established UDPride Alumni Network. Highlights are:

• A Drag Show Bingo was held during Alumni Weekend on Saturday, June 3. 
• The UDPride Alumni Network was granted a special invitation in October to the Center for Intercultural Engagement (CIE) Dedication, which was covered in this Newark Post article. Members of the UDPride Alumni Network that attended are pictured in the article in the Food Pantry: a space where students can “order” food pantry items using their student ID for pickup.
• Focus groups were held in summer 2023 to gather interest in starting an alumni affinity organization to support LGBTQ+ students, alumni and allies. As a result, the UDPride Alumni Network was formed and three alumni are now leading the network: Elaina Hill, AS09 (President), Cedric Steenberghs, AS14 (Vice President), and Kelsey Youells, AS18 (Social Media and Philanthropy Chair).
