“In Spring of 2019 I decided to start a LGBTQ+ social group at the Ragon. I thought it was necessary to create this space, especially in an institute that dedicates itself to the study of diseases significantly affecting this community.”

-Dylan Parsons

The mission of Ragon Out is to create a safe space for LGBTQ+ people within the institute. We hope to foster connections between our diverse members that expand beyond the workplace, and we strive to advocate for inclusivity throughout the institute.

We host monthly events, ranging from brewing company trips, movie nights, playing pool, going rock climbing and more!
