HISTORIC EVENT REINFORCES DEI COMMITMENT
For the first time in MATC’s history, the college raised the Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride flag in recognition of Pride Month. A flag raising ceremony was held Monday, June 10, at MATC’s Oak Creek Campus. Students, staff, alumni and guests spoke about the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion. Flags also were raised at the Downtown Milwaukee and Mequon campuses. Construction at our West Allis Campus temporarily prevents flying any flags. The initiative was led by the LGBTQ+ and Allies employee affinity group and the Rainbow Alliance student organization. The Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride flag was chosen because it serves as the most inclusive and up-to-date LGBTQ+ flag.
