Purple Friday 2024
On Purple Friday, several TU Delft student associations organise activities on campus to increase visibility and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
We would like to emphasise that all activities are free to both students and staff, because besides the fact that you might attend the activities at your own faculty, the other student associations will also enjoy getting to know students and staff from other faculties.
So if you have the time, be sure to check out the activities at one of the other faculties on campus!
We have made a list with all the information from the different study associations and faculties and how they are implementing Purple Friday 2024.
