The Fresno State campus sits in the midst of the San Joaquin Valley, a valley rich in the traditions and representation of Native American peoples and cultures. We are grateful to be in the traditional homelands of the Yokuts and Mono peoples, whose diverse tribal communities share stewardship over this land.

The official logo of United Student Pride. It is two upside down triangles, one black and the other pink to signify the method of marking homosexuals during World War II. In front of the triangles are bold white lettering that say "USP." Surrounding it is a spectral circle border with all the colors of the rainbow.

United Student Pride, or USP, is an on-campus club for LGBTQ+ students and community members that was founded in 1987 by Dr. Peter Robertson. It began under the name GLSA (Gay Lesbian Student Alliance). With 14 founding members and Robertson's efforts, the club persevered and paved the way for queer Fresno State students and the club today.We celebrated 35 years back in 2022 and we are still going strong !

The first photo captures a young Dr. Robertson after the events of the GLSA booth being burnt down. He is speaking at an event acknowledging this, with signs surrounding him that say "GLSA booth was burned down Nov. 29" and "We will NOT go back."
The second photo is a Collegian article from September of 1988 where the headline discusses a new gay group for those who wish to engage in non-political groups and be anonymous while still being in gay spaces.
