NUI Galway has introduced a number of new initiatives to celebrate and support the visibility and inclusion of the LGBT+ community in higher education. GigSoc, the LGBT+ student society, recently held the first Pride March through the NUI Galway campus as part of a range of activities organised for Rainbow Week. This coincided with the launch of the LGBT+ Ally Programme by the NUI Galway LGBT+ Staff Network.
GigSoc has also recently launched the T Fund, which recognises the extra financial burden faced by trans and non binary students by providing funding to students for financial costs related to social transition.
