Hi Honors College Community,

Every year, over 100 students, alumni, staff, and faculty walk alongside Griff to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ community, and we want you there this year!

This June 7th, we're debuting Pride Griff and handing out over 2,000 stickers to the SLC community.

The parade runs from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. through downtown Salt Lake City, about two miles and 45 minutes total. Volunteers receive a free Westminster Pride T-shirt and get to see Pride Griff before anyone else.

Sign up to walk with Griff →https://westminsteru.edu/about/diversity-equity-and-inclusion/pride-volunteers.html

Contact Jake Smith ([email protected]) with any questions, concerns, or accessibility needs.

Hope to see you at Pride!

Wondering what neat things Honors College students have been up to?

This month in our Human Culture & Behavior true crime themed seminar, special guest Jiro Johnson, a public defender for Salt Lake County and rep for Salt Lake County Council, came to campus.

Jiro is a former board member of the LGBT and Allied Lawyers of Utah, a former president of the Utah Minority Bar Association, has taught legal courses at the Utah State Prison, and actively mentors college students and new lawyers giving them guidance on entering the legal profession.

He spoke candidly with students about his journey in law and answered questions about systemic injustice—along with topics introduced by the students.

Jiro was a dynamic, smart, and generous speaker--super fun to listen to and discussed the realities of our system compassionately with students. We are so thankful for his time and effort in working closely with our Honors College students!

WE DID IT! 🎉🏛️ 🎬 Watch:https://youtu.be/uJ4fyka4dHY
130 donors for the Honors College — surpassing our goal of 125! This community is unreal.

And that means... Griff the mascot has officially been mummified. By an Egyptologist. As promised. 😂

Every one of those gifts supports City as Text, the experiential learning that makes our Honors College extraordinary. Thank you — we couldn't have done this without you. 💜
