Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the Shane/Ilya saga or you just enjoy a high-stakes "enemies-to-lovers" narrative, it’s time to drop the gloves and pick up a glass.

Out of Office and the Hockey Club are joining forces for a happy hour that proves the most intense rivalries usually hide the best chemistry. We’re bridging the gap between the blue line and the rainbow flag for a night of community. Join us after this year's Garstka Cup for a celebration of healthy (heated) competition.

Join Out of Office for a Pride Week lunch event featuring Casey Tanner, AASECT-certified sex therapist, author of *Feel It All*, and founder of Queer Sex Therapy and The Expansive Group. In this conversation, Casey will share insights on queerness, relationships, identity, and sex therapy through an inclusive and affirming lens. The discussion will cover navigating identity, building healthy relationships, advocating for your needs, and fostering inclusivity in the workplace. Anonymous Q&A will be available.

Join Students for Racial Equity and Out of Office for a viewing of Rafiki during Day 2 of Pride Week!
Rafiki—which means “friend” in Swahili—is a powerful exploration of Black queer joy, chosen family, and the courage it takes to love authentically in the face of social and political oppression. Through vibrant visuals and heartfelt storytelling, the film invites us to reflect on the intersections of race, culture, gender, and sexuality across global contexts.
Come watch, connect, and engage in conversation as we uplift LGBTQ+ voices of color and celebrate stories of resilience, intersectionality and liberation. All are welcome.

Kick off Pride Week in style!

Join Out of Office for a fabulous Drag Brunch featuring a dazzling performance by our drag queen Sapphire Bills, great food, and the best vibes all around. Come ready to mix, mingle, and start the week on a high note. This is open to everyone - queers, allies, EVERYONE!!!!

As always, lunch from our beloved queer owned Blue Orchid will be served!

PS: Don't forget to tip your queen ;)
