National Coming Out Day

11 Oct 2024

To mark National Coming Out Day (11 October), the LGBT+ Pride flag and the Trans Pride flags flew over the North Wing ground level flagpoles. The main Quad was also lit in the rainbow colours. 

This year's National Coming Out Day marks the third anniversary of President O'Halloran's inauguration of UCC's Rainbow Walkway - the first institution-led Rainbow Walkway on an Irish university campus.  The recent re-painting of the Rainbow Walkway makes it a wonderfully bright and joyous symbol of UCC's commitment to its LGBT+ staff, students and LGBT+ Allies.
Sincere thanks for their support to the President's Office, the EDI Unit, Buildings and Estates, and General Services Duty Officers.
