The Pridefest planning committee is pleased to announce that our annual LGBTQQA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and ally) Pridefest is this weekend, September 16-18. Pridefest, now in its fourth year, is shaping up to be the best ever. This year's slogan is "Making south central Minnesota a little more colorful". The date has been moved to allow for greater participation from the college community. We've improved the entertainment and events, while keeping the down-home charm of this unconventional pride celebration.
Please feel free to visit the Pridefest web site for more information.
If you have any special needs or any questions please contact Jessica Flatequal at the LGBT Center, or call 507-389-6076.

I am a commuting student that takes night classes at MSU. I have recently found out that I will be working in Mankato from Oct. 16-Nov 4. I am looking for a place to stay for a minimal price. I work full time and have class on Tue and Wed nights, I can't afford to drive an hour+ each way every day. It is for a short period only and all I require is sleeping accommodations and a shower. I would really appreciate whatever help you could offer. Thank you much. Please email me if you can direct me to some housing options.
